Create bibliography from footnotes in word 2016

There is no simple, direct way to do that.

If the citations in the footnotes are formatted correctly and consistently, you could copy/paste from each footnote into a "bibliography" at the end of the document.

To create a bibliography with Word's built-in tool, it will probably be best to print out a copy of the document so you can read the footnotes. Because the tool wants each piece of information for a citation in a separate field, copy/paste will be clumsy and typing will be easier.

Start by clicking the References tab on the ribbon and clicking the Manage Sources button in the Citations & Bibliography group. In the Source Manager dialog, click the New button and enter the information for a citation. When you're prompted to save the citation in both the Master List and the Current List, say Yes. Repeat for the other footnotes.

When all the citations are loaded in the Current List, click the Close button. Click at the end of the document, click the Bibliography button on the References ribbon, and choose one of the samples shown there (they differ only in the heading at the beginning).

If you have a requirement for a particular bibliography style, choose it in the Style dropdown just above the Bibliography button.

Word's referencing tools don't provide a means for creating a bibliography that way.

To create citations and/or a bibliography in Word, you need to first add the sources to the document via References|Manage Sources or References|Insert Citation>Add New Source. Once you have created a reference, you can cite it multiple times.

Regardless of whether you actually cite a reference that's been added to the current document, it will appear in a Bibliography created via References|Bibliography.
