Add a footnote to a Word paragraph

Use jetformat word footnote to add a footnote to a Word paragraph.

By Jetformat

Choose the current 1-based paragraph number and supply the note text. A footnote is an attached document note, not a manually typed footer.

Steps

  1. Start with a local DOCX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat word footnote report.docx --paragraph 1 --text 'see spec' -o report-updated.docx

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--output Output DOCX path (required)
--paragraph 1-based paragraph number (default 1)
--text Footnote text (required)

Check the result

Read word footnotes on the output, then render the document to check the marker and page layout.

Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat word footnote --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the word command reference for the surrounding workflow.
