Deleting Footnotes and Endnotes

If you have previously inserted footnotes or endnotes into your document, and you want to later delete one of them, follow these steps:

1. Highlight the footnote or endnote reference mark in your document.
2. Press either Del or Ctrl+X.

The footnote or endnote is deleted, and if you are using auto-numbered footnotes or endnotes, the remaining notes in your document are renumbered.

You should note that it does no good to delete the footnote or endnote text; you must delete the footnote or endnote reference itself.
