Footnote is a note at the bottom of a page that gives more detailed information about something on the page. In this section, we will demonstrate how to add footnote in word using Spire.Doc for WPF.
First, create a new project by choosing WPF Application in Visual Studio, adding a button in the Main Window. Add Spire.Doc.Wpf.dll as reference to your project, and then double click the button to start.
Step 1: Initialize a new instance of Document class. Load the word document from the file.
Document doc = new Document(); doc.LoadFromFile("Oscar.docx");
Step 2: Select the section and paragraph which needs adding footnote. In this example, we choose the first section and the fourth paragraph.
Section sec = doc.Sections[0]; Paragraph paragraph = sec.Paragraphs[3];
Step 3: Add footnote by the method of paragraph.AppendFootnote() and then add the footnote contents by using footnote.TextBody.AddParagraph().AppendText(). At last, set the font style, size and color.
Footnote fn = paragraph.AppendFootnote(FootnoteType.Footnote); TextRange text = fn.TextBody.AddParagraph().AppendText("Oscar Wilde (film), a 1960 biographical film about Oscar Wilde"); text.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri"; text.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 11; text.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Chocolate;
Step 4: Set format of the marker.
fn.MarkerCharacterFormat.FontName = "Arial"; fn.MarkerCharacterFormat.FontSize = 14; fn.MarkerCharacterFormat.Bold = true; fn.MarkerCharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Brown;
Step 5: Save the document and launch the file.
document.SaveToFile("FootNote.docx", FileFormat.Docx); System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("FootNote.docx");
