GENERAL INFORMATION The main thing that separates this format from MLA and APA is its use of footnotes or endnotes. Ask your instructor which one he or she wants you to use. Footnotes: Source information is listed at the bottom of the page in the footer with a raised number. Endnotes: Source information is listed on its own page in numerical order. All sources used are included and listed in alphabetical order by author last name. If a title of a book or video is longer than four or five words, you can shorten it in the footnote but not in the bibliography. To insert a footnote using Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010, the cursor should be at the end of the sentence in question. In the toolbar, click References, then Insert Footnote. A raised number should now appear (see the footer below for an example). 1 Scroll to the end of the page and type the required source information. 1 This guide was revised in July 2013. 1
