Copying and Moving Footnotes

Word implements a full-featured footnote system that allows you total control over where and how footnotes are printed. If you have previously inserted footnotes into your document, and you want to duplicate a footnote, you can use techniques you already know for copying regular text. To copy a footnote, follow these steps:

1. Highlight the footnote reference mark in your document.
2. Press Ctrl+C. The footnote reference mark and the associated footnote are copied to the Clipboard.
3. Position the insertion point at the location where you want to copy the footnote.
4. Press Ctrl+V. The footnote reference mark is inserted in your document, and the associated footnote is added to the footnotes section. If you are using auto-numbered footnotes, all the footnotes in your document are renumbered.

If you instead want to move a footnote to another location in your document (or even in another document), you can use similar techniques. All you need to do is use Ctrl+X in step 2, instead of the noted Ctrl+C.
