Searching for Footnote and Endnote Marks

Summary: Do you want to quickly search for any footnote or endnote marks in your document? Word makes it easy using the standard Find and Replace dialog box. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)

If you don't know where a footnote or endnote reference is located in your document, you can use Word's powerful searching capabilities to find automatic footnote references. To search for a footnote, follow these steps:

  1. Press Ctrl+F to display the Find tab of the Find and Replace dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  2. In the Find What box, enter the text for which you want to search. To search for a footnote mark, enter ^f. To search for an endnote mark, instead enter ^e.
  3. Set other searching parameters, as desired.
  4. Click on Find Next.

Tip #1919 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003 | 2007
