Customizing and Troubleshooting Footnote and Endnote Separators. If your documents contain footnotes or endnotes, you will have run into the concept of separators, which are the short (or long) lines Word inserts between your body text and the footnotes at the bottom of the page or the endnotes at the end of the document or section.

Using Sections in Word 2007, Word 2010, Word 2013, 2016 and Word 2019 / Word 365. Word uses Section breaks to specify parts of a document that have different page orientation, columns, or Headers and footers. Section breaks allow the user to specify where the different formatting will begin and end. I just got a new MAC with Word installed, and I discovered I no longer have a small icon at the bottom-right corner of the Footnote Group on the References tab of the ribbon. As a result, I can't seem to locate a way to change endnotes from Roman numerals to Arabic numbers.

Word 2016 For Mac Change Footnotes From Roman Numerals To Regular

Hi,
I'm working with MS Word. When I use zotero to place a superscript next to the sentence I'm trying to reference for my end notes, it gives me a roman numeral. I need regular numbers. How can I change this? I don't know if it's a zotero setting or a Word setting (though I've checked everywhere and can't seem to find anything).
Has anyone run into this problem?
Thanks!

  • Seems to be a Word issue, not connected with Zotero. Here's a howto:

    (I'm not a Word user, so no idea if the advice there will play as advertised. But it seems to be in the ballpark.)
  • Lizzybeth I am having the same problem. Can you tell me how you found the solution at techrepublic?

  • Change automatic reference marks for Word endnotes
    by Mary Ann Richardson | Mar 06, 2007 8:00:00 AM
    Takeaway: If you don't like the way your Word endnote numbers look, change them! Mary Ann Richardson explains that you can change the reference marks from Roman numerals to a different format by making one simple format change.
    By default, Word uses small Roman numerals for endnote reference marks. If you decide later that you do not want to use the default number format, you don't have to delete the endnote numbers and re-create them all again. All you need to do is follow a few simple steps.
    For example, to change the Roman numerals to Arabic numbers without having to insert new ones, follow these steps:
    Click anywhere in your document.
    Go to Insert | Reference | Footnotes.
    Click Endnotes and make the appropriate selection from the Endnotes drop-down list.
    Select 1, 2 ,3... from the Number Format drop-down list.
    Select Whole Document from the Apply Changes To drop-down list.
    Click Apply.
    By clicking Apply instead of Insert, you can change all the endnotes in the document. You can also follow this procedure to change the automatic reference marks set for footnotes. The only difference is in step 3; you will click Footnotes and make the appropriate selection from the Footnotes drop-down list.

Word 2016 For Mac Change Footnotes From Roman Numerals 1

If you are using Microsoft Word to write a paper adhering to the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) guidelines for citations that appear in the endnotes section of the paper, references to endnotes should be made in the paper using Arabic numerals at the end of sentences with the numbers put in superscript.

Example

Ludwig considered it an honor that his books were among those burned by the Nazis in 1933.1

Endnote

1. Emil Ludwig, Three Portraits: Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin (New York: Alliance Book Corporation: 1940), 49.

You can configure Microsoft Word for CMS style citations by clicking on the References tab and then selecting a Chicago option for the Style option. Microsoft Word 2010 lists 'Chicago Fifteenth Edition' as the CMS option.

You can select Arabic numerals for the endnotes by clicking on the small arrowhead that points diagonally downwards to the right at the lower, right-hand corner of the References options block.

On the Footnote and Endnote window that appears, select Endnotes and change the number format to '1, 2, 3, ...'

If the text isn't already 12 point Times New Roman for endnotes, you can change the font to 12 point Times New Roman by highlighting endnotes you have entered and selecting that font and font size from beneath the Home tab of the Word menu bar. You can still right-click on an endnote in the endnotes secton and choose 'Go to Endnote' to be taken to the reference in the body of the paper.

The endnotes section should have the word 'Notes' centered at the top of the first page of endnotes. If you wish to remove the horizontal line that Word puts at the top of each page for the endnotes, take the following steps:

Microsoft Word Change Footnotes From Roman Numerals

  1. Click on one of the superscript numbers in the body of your paper for a citation to be taken to the endnotes section of the paper.
  2. Click on View on the menu bar at the top of the Word window and change the view from 'Print Layout' to 'Draft.'
  3. Click on References at the top of the Word Window to see the options for footnotes and endnotes.
  4. Click on Show Notes. You should then see an endnotes pane open at the bottom of the Word window.
  5. There will be a drop down list next to 'Endnotes' with 'All Endnotes' selected by default. Pick 'Endnote Separator,' instead.
  6. Click at the end of the line you see drawn beneath 'Endnote Separator' and then hit the backspace key to delete it.
  7. The above step will remove the line from the top of the first page of endnotes. To remove the line from subsequent pages of endnotes, you need to repeat step 5, but select 'Endnote Continuation Separator' instead of 'Endnote Separator' and then delete the horizontal line shown for it as well.
  8. You can then click on the View tab again and change the view back to 'Print Layout.'
