That way I can track my progress with work. I like to keep rough drafts of coursework saved as different files. With the cross-referencing function in Word, it will change the footnote numbering.
It’s a really cool function, as it means you don’t have to go back and put every number in manually afterwards! Hypothetically, if I added a new sentence which needed a new reference, it would look like this. However, you do not need to print the item, as long as you receive the printing menu up, you can press ‘cancel’ but Word will refresh these cross-references for you. You may need to ‘force’ it to refresh by clicking ‘print’ or ‘print preview’. Please note that not all computers do this automatically. This is handy for a lengthy piece of work because when you need to insert new footnotes, the numbers for the cross-references will change for you. If you then click ‘insert’, the cross reference number will be generated for you. This will then be highlighted in blue, as you can see from the second red arrow above. Choose the footnote that you want in this little menu bar. The menu box will then show you the footnotes that you have made. Where it says ‘Reference type’ at the top of this menu box, you need to make sure you choose ‘footnote’ from the drop down menu, otherwise you will not be able to see the list of footnotes generated (this is where the top red arrow is pointing!) It should look something like this (note: this will vary a little bit depending on the operating system you use e.g. OR, if you navigate to the ‘Reference’ tab, and click the ‘cross-reference’ icon.Ī small menu will appear. Then you will need to navigate to the ‘insert’ menu at the top of Microsoft Word and choose ‘cross-reference’. This will be where you want your cross-reference. In the space before closing the brackets, click the cursor (I’ve highlighted this in yellow above).

Type in the surname, brackets with an ‘n’ in them, plus page number that you want to refer to. In footnote 3, you would like to refer back to the citation you made in footnote 1. So, how do you go about it? Imagine that you need to reference the following piece of text: Learning to cross-reference is an important skill. Of course this is wrong and it’s terribly confusing for marker!!! I submitted a piece of coursework where every time I referred back to an earlier footnote, I would write 1, 2, 3, 1, 4, 5, 1, 2, 1. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 etc…Ī long time ago, when I was an undergraduate student, I didn’t know this. Bear in mind, that footnotes are numerically ordered e.g. There will be a moment during the course of your work where you will want to refer back to an earlier citation.
