Word endnote is often put in the end of the document, which presents references of referred words/sentences/paragraphs. It includes two parts, marker and text. Marker can be customized or ordered automatically (i, ii, iii…). When one endnote is added, deleted or moved, the marker will be reordered automatically.

Spire.Doc for .NET, a stand-alone component used to manipulate Word document for .NET applications, enables users to insert endnote in Word by using C#, VB.NET. This guide introduces a method about how to realize this function via Spire.Doc for .NET.

Because endnote is included in footnote class, so invoke p.AppendFootnote(FootnoteType.Endnote) method to insert endnote. Then, use endnote.TextBody.AddParagraph().AppendText(string) method to add text and set CharacterFormat and MarkerCharacterFormat properties for endnote text and marker format. Download and install Spire.Doc for .NET and use the following code to insert endnote in Word.

[C#]
using System.Drawing;
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;

namespace WordEndnote
{
    class InsertEndnote
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Load Document
            Document doc = new Document();
            doc.LoadFromFile(@"E:\Work\Documents\WordDocuments\Antarctic.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
            Section s = doc.Sections[0];
            Paragraph p = s.Paragraphs[3];

            //Add Footnote
            Footnote endnote = p.AppendFootnote(FootnoteType.Endnote);

            //Append Text
            TextRange text = endnote.TextBody.AddParagraph().AppendText("Reference: Wikipedia");

            //Text Format
            text.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Impact";
            text.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 14;
            text.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.DarkOrange;

            //Marker Format
            endnote.MarkerCharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri";
            endnote.MarkerCharacterFormat.FontSize = 14;
            endnote.MarkerCharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.DarkBlue;

            //Save and Launch
            doc.SaveToFile("Endnote.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
