Notice, from the arrows, that Canvas takes what looked like super-scripted footnotes in the text in Word and converted them to bracketed numbers instead, and not as superscripts. Here is what I wound up with shortly after pasting it, with this view below showing the text towards the top of the Discussion reply: I started with a basic Word document where I created three completely made up footnotes using some random text generated in Word.

I did the following in a sample course site. (Note : the endnote references at the bottom will not appear to be selected, but they will be if you select everything on the page.) Then, of course, paste it in the rich content editor. Next, select all of your typed text in Word. For posting in a Discussion topic, you want the "footnotes" at the bottom of the document, which so far as Word is concerned will mean that you're using endnotes. 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.

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.
