# Footnote Object

> A Footnote object represents a footnote in a TextControl document. A footnote can be inserted trough the FootnoteCollection.add method. It consists of a reference mark in the document and the footnote itself appearing at the bottom of the page. The footnote has a footnote mark with the same number as the reference mark. All Footnote objects are contained in the FootnoteCollection, which can be obtained with the TXTextControl.footnotes property.
