OpenOffice: insert footnotes - how it works

With OpenOffice you can also write whole chores. One of the requirements is the footnotes, which you have to insert separately. So that you can get a good final grade, we show you in this practical tip how to insert footnotes correctly.

Insert footnotes in OpenOffice

You can easily insert footnotes or endnotes by following these steps:

1. Click with the mouse behind the word behind which the footnote is to be placed.
2. Select "Insert" from the menu and then click "Footnote / Endnote".
3. A small window opens (see screenshot). You can now select an automatic count or manually enter a character. Confirm your entry with "OK".
4. A superscript number now appears behind your word. At the bottom of the page you can now make your entries.

You can also set page margins or insert line numbers for your OpenOffice texts.
