The footnotes-by default in Word-will wind up at the bottom of each page. But again, using endnotes-not footnotes-because you want the references appearing at the bottom (end) of the document rather than at the bottom of each page, if you have super-long bit of text you are typing. Type your text in Word, doing the footnotes where you want them. (Sorry if you're on a Mac.but hopefully you can figure out where to find this.)

The screen capture below shows the settings from Word 2016 on a Windows 10 PC. You can do this by clicking the dialog box launcher that the black arrow is pointing to below. I don't know how much you know about HTML, but Word is notorious for including some HTML tags that just are not relevant and can do odd things when introduced into Canvas.įirst: in Word, make sure that you set the References tab so that you are using endnotes (not footnotes-keep reading!) and that the endnotes are using the regular numeric format rather than lower-case roman numerals like Word will do for endnotes by default. (And a separate note: it's not a bad idea to learn to type your Discussion replies in Word first before posting in Canvas, anyway, just to avoid any potential accidents when writing a long reply!) However, the less formatting in Word the better. But it's not quite perfect when it comes to using superscripts with footnotes.
#How to add footnote number in text how to
Thanks for your acknowledgement that you know how to do this in Word, because that will help! And believe it or not, Canvas does a very good job with copying/pasting footnoted text from a Word document and pasting it into the rich content editor that students have when replying to a discussion. The footer, in the standard footer style, which again you can modify to suit.Hi Welcome to the worldwide Canvas Community! I see you joined the Community back in January but that this is your first post here. The table, which you can better format to suit, I have not removed the border on the added row. Pot("This should not have a number in front of it") # now add the footer text using the bookmarkĭoc, stylename = "footer", bookmark = "FOOTER", Value = c("There should be no number after this"), # do the flextable, note that I add your table footer here With our new template, the next steps will seem more familiar. Enter Bookmark name, I just used FOOTER, and click Add.From MS Word I have opened an empty document.That means we need to use a docx template instead of the empty document generated by the package. There is also the issue that ReporteRs does not provide a method to place text in the footer without using bookmarks (except Footnote, which we have now discounted). The note in your table and the text in the footer will not be connected in any way, such as a hyperlink provided by Footnote. However, what you are after is achievable if I understand your question correctly. If in a docx object, footnote will be flagged by a number immediately following the portion of the text the note is in reference to. What you are trying to do doesn't match ReporteRs::Footnote as it was written, as shown in the help: doc2 <- docx()ĭoc2 <- addFlexTable(doc2,vanilla.table(head(iris)))ĭoc2 <- addParagraph(doc2,c(rep("",33),"Text placed by dynamically finding bottom of the page")) This could be done by figuring out how many more lines will fit on the page, but if there was some way to make the vertical alignment the bottom of the page for the last paragraph, that would be ideal. library(ReporteRs)ĭoc1 <- addFlexTable(doc1,vanilla.table(head(iris)))įoot <- addParagraph(Foot,"This should not have a number in front of it")ĭoc <- addParagraph(doc,pot("There should be no number after this",footnote=Foot))Īlternatively, if it's possible to just put a paragraph at the bottom of the page, that would also solve my problem. I'd like to be able to put text in the footer of a page without any numbering in front. When using the ReporteRs package, it seems that the only way to get text into the footer of a page involves placing a numbered footnote in the body of the text, and having that footnote appear with the same number in the footer.
