I cannot tell you how long I've been struggling to find out how to make further notations for readers at the bottom of pages while listing source citations separately at the back. In something under 5 minutes I now know. Thank you!

Microsoft leads you to believe it is under "Insert". Guess it is hard for a multibillion dollar company to keep their tutorials accurate.

I was hoping to find out what happens in a large document, when you you have, say, 76 footnotes and you need to add one in, say between 27 and 28. Also, are the pages laid out so that all the footnotes of one page fit in a space at the bottom of that same page? Does it shuffle text along to make space for extra footnotes added later? And then does it accommodate the changes of pagination down the line, and also where the footnotes appear? Thank you.

Thank you for clearing up a horrible mystery for me. I took your suggestions and my document now has footnotes showing up where they're supposed to be!
