Footnotes and endnotes differ from citations, which are parenthetical references that are placed inline with the text.

A footnote or an endnote consists of two parts - the note reference mark and the corresponding note text. Footnotes are positioned at the bottom of the page, whereas endnotes are positioned together on a page at the end of the document. It is important to keep the original document with the EndNote formatting in case you need to make changes to it later (EndNote citations cannot be reactivated from a plain text copy).Footnotes and endnotes are used to explain, comment on, or provide references for text in a document.

Invisible field codes may be left behind which can affect the document formatting or lead to the citation reappearing when you close and reopen the document. While EndNote formatting is active you should avoid manually deleting citations from the Word document. Want to abbreviate organisation names in-text?
