Making footnotes come out right for AJAE

by Angie Erickson

While editing your manuscript,

  1. Choose "Normal" view, not "Page Layout."
  2. Go to "Insert" and "Footnotes."

  3. Click "Options."

  4. If you have not already done so, "Convert" all Footnotes to Endnotes.

  5. Place at: "End of Section," (start at: "1"; numbering: "continuous").

  6. Close Footnote window.

  7. At the end of your text (before the references and tables), insert a page break.

  8. After the page break, insert a (Next page) section break. The section break will place the footnote page at the end of the section (before the references and tables).

Note: If you have an "underline" mark at the top of your footnote page, under "View," choose "Footnotes." At the top of the footnote window, choose "All Endnotes." Again, at the top of the window, choose "Endnote separator." Highlight and replace with the word "Footnotes." If your footnotes are more than one page, choose "Endnote continuation separator." Highlight and delete.

The formatting of footnotes, references, and tables should stay intact.
