Footnote

To enter a footnote, place your cursor in the text where you would like the footnote to appear. Then click on the Footnote button (FN).

Enter the text of the footnote into dialogue box that pops up.

Once you click “OK” the footnote will appear in the text as a shortcode, surrounded by brackets. Be sure to not delete any brackets or the backslash or the footnote won’t function properly. You can format the text using the formatting bar as you would other text to add italics or bold.

In preview mode, or once published, the footnotes will be automatically numbered, and appear at the bottom of the page with a return link to the footnote marker.

With your cursor placed within the text where you would like the box to appear, select the type of textbox from the menu.

You can then replace the placeholder text with your own. Be cautious with adding pictures and pasting text from another program or website as it may cause formatting issues.
