In this step-by-step tutorial, we will guide you on how to use Aspose.Words for .NET to set the position of footnotes and endnotes in a Word document. We will explain the provided C# source code and show you how to implement it in your own projects.

To get started, make sure you have Aspose.Words for .NET installed and set up in your development environment. If you haven’t done so, download and install the library from [Aspose.Releases]https://releases.aspose.com/words/net/.

Step 1: Initializing the Document Object

First, initialize the Document object by providing the path to your source document:

Step 2: Setting Footnote and Endnote Position

Next, access the FootnoteOptions and EndnoteOptions properties of the document to set the position of footnotes and endnotes. In this example, we set the position of footnotes to be beneath the text and the position of endnotes to be at the end of the section:

doc.FootnoteOptions.Position = FootnotePosition.BeneathText;
doc.EndnoteOptions.Position = EndnotePosition.EndOfSection;
