́When tagging word files, it is required to tag the appropriate footnotes with a content control or comment, as described here, before being able to tag them in the Text Content tab .

To tag footnotes (additional information for numbers or rows/columns in tables), the corresponding footnote text must be selected in the Preview tab.

Then the icon to manage the footnotes for the content has to be clicked .

In the "Manage Footnote" dialogue, all cells related to the footnote have to be selected by selecting the appropriate cell and then click on Add Selected Tags to Footnote.

It is required to select multiple table cells for a footnote, which depends on the footnote position:

  • If a footnote is added to a single table value cell, only the table cell has to be selected.

  • If a footnote is added to a row header/label, all cells in the row have to be selected.

  • If a footnote is added to a column header/label, all cells in the column have to be selected.

  • If a footnote is added to the full table (e.g. on the table header), all cells of the table have to selected.
