How To Remove Footnotes In Google Docs
Footnotes are a great way to provide additional information or sources to back up your claims. They appear as smaller text that show up in the bottom footer of a page and can help improve the flow of your document.
However, you may find yourself needing to remove footnotes from your document. In this guide, we will show you the simplest way to remove footnotes in Google Docs.
How to Delete Footnotes in Google Docs
Here’s our step-by-step guide on how to delete footnotes in Google Docs.
Step 1
First, open the document that contains footnotes you want to remove.
You can determine a document has footnotes if there are sections of the text with superscript numbers which lead to small sections of text found at the footer of the page.
Step 2
Use your cursor to select the superscript found in your text.
Step 3
Hit the Backspace key to remove the superscript. This will automatically remove the footnote in your document.
Since Google Docs does not have a feature to remove all footnotes, the user must manually find each superscript within the document.
