In Microsoft Office for Mac (2016) I cannot find a button to close footnotes. Is it a defect? Is there another feature to close footnotes? Jose Drummond

    Your observation is correct - there is no traditional close button [✖️] on the title bar of the Footnotes Pane, itself. However, you have at least 3 alternatives;

    • Go to View> Footnotes to clear the check, or
    • Use the Show Notes button on the References tab of the Ribbon to toggle the Pane On/Off, or
    • Assign a keyboard shortcut to the ViewFootnoteArea command to toggle the Pane.
