Footnotes and endnotes

20 Sep 2019 / 24 minutes to read

Footnotes and endnotes are separate text body contents used in documents to show the source of supplementary information that does not interrupt the normal body text of the Word document. Footnotes are typically located at the bottom of a page or beneath text being referenced, and endnotes are typically placed at the end of a document or at the end of a section. When document has been divided up into one or more sections, each section of a document can contain endnotes.

Both footnotes and endnotes consist of two parts:

  • A note reference mark with numbering value in the body text to indicate that additional information is in a footnote or endnote at the end of the page or the end of the document or section.
  • The footnote or endnote text body content.

Adding a Footnotes

The following code example shows how to insert the footnotes into the Word document.

//Creates a new Word document
WordDocument document = new WordDocument();
//Creates a section
IWSection section = document.AddSection();
//Adds a paragraph to a section
IWParagraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
//Appends the text to paragraph
paragraph.AppendText("Working with footnotes");
//Formats the text
paragraph.ApplyStyle(BuiltinStyle.Heading1);
//Adds a paragraph to a section
paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
//Appends the footnotes
WFootnote footnote = (WFootnote) paragraph.AppendFootnote(Syncfusion.DocIO.FootnoteType.Footnote);
//Sets the footnote character format
footnote.MarkerCharacterFormat.SubSuperScript = SubSuperScript.SuperScript;
//Inserts the text into the paragraph
paragraph.AppendText("Sample content for footnotes").CharacterFormat.Bold = true;
//Adds footnote text
paragraph = footnote.TextBody.AddParagraph();
paragraph.AppendText("AdventureWorks Cycles, the fictitious company on which the AdventureWorks sample databases are based, is a large, multinational manufacturing company.");
//Saves and closes the Word document instance
document.Save("Sample.docx", FormatType.Docx);
document.Close();

Footnote and Endnote separators

Footnote/Endnote separator is used to separate the text body content and footnote/endnote by a small line.

A footnote/endnote continuation separator is used to indicate the footnote/endnote is carried over from the previous page by a line running across the top section.

A footnote/endnote continuation notice is used to indicate the footnote/endnote is continued to the next page by special character or word preserved at the bottom of the footer.

The following code example shows how to change the default footnote separator.

//Creates a new Word document
WordDocument document = new WordDocument();
//Creates a section
IWSection section = document.AddSection();
//Adds a paragraph to a section
IWParagraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
//Appends the text to paragraph
paragraph.AppendText("Working with footnotes");
//Formats the text
paragraph.ApplyStyle(BuiltinStyle.Heading1);
//Adds a paragraph to a section
paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
//Appends the footnotes
WFootnote footnote = (WFootnote)paragraph.AppendFootnote(Syncfusion.DocIO.FootnoteType.Footnote);
WTextBody separator = document.Footnotes.Separator;
//Replaces the default footnote separated by text
separator.Paragraphs[0].Text = "Footnote separator";
//Sets the footnote character format
footnote.MarkerCharacterFormat.SubSuperScript = SubSuperScript.SuperScript;
//Inserts the text into the paragraph
paragraph.AppendText("Sample content for footnotes").CharacterFormat.Bold = true;
//Adds footnote text
paragraph = footnote.TextBody.AddParagraph();
paragraph.AppendText("AdventureWorks Cycles, the fictitious company on which the AdventureWorks sample databases are based, is a large, multinational manufacturing company.");
