Notes (16.3-16.4.3.2, pp. 160-168)

Notes are numbered as they appear in the text of your paper, using the formats in the examples above.

To insert footnotes:

In Microsoft Word, click in the text to place an insertion point where you are referring to a source used for information. Click on References in the top menu, choose Turabian from the drop down menu, and then choose Insert Footnote. Word will place a superscript number at the insertion point and a short rule between the last line of your text and the first footnote on the page. You can then type in the footnote citation next to the number at the bottom of the page. Repeat this process to add footnotes.

In Google Docs click in the text to place an insertion point where you are referring to a source used for information. Click Insert, then select Footnote from the drop-down menu. Google Docs will place a superscript number in the body of the document, as well as at the bottom of the page. You can then type in the footnote citation. Repeat these steps to add footnotes.

The following is an Endnote example. Endnotes are placed on a separate page at the end of your paper, just before your bibliography.
