OSCOLA referencing
Creating a footnote in Word 2007
- Click in the text to indicate where the footnote marker should be inserted (for example after the full stop at the end of the sentence).
- From the 'References' menu in Word click on 'Insert Footnote'.
- You will be prompted to type in the text of your footnote. Remember to end your footnote with a full stop.
- Click in your text to continue typing.
You can speed up the process by using the Word shortcut instead, pressing the Ctrl, Alt and F keys together.
To delete a footnote completely, delete its footnote marker in the text.
OSCOLA footnotes can also be created in Word using EndNote or other reference management software.
