            Footnote footnote1 = new Footnote(1);
            FootnoteReference footnoteReference = new FootnoteReference(1);

            Run footnoteRun1 = new Run();
            footnoteRun1.setVerticalAlignment(VerticalAlignment.SUPERSCRIPT);
            footnoteRun1.addFootnoteReferenceMark();

            Run footnoteRun2 = new Run();
            footnoteRun2.addText("Footnote text.");
            
            Paragraph footnoteParagraph = new Paragraph();
            footnoteParagraph.add(footnoteRun1);
            footnoteParagraph.add(footnoteRun2);

            footnote1.getContent().add(footnoteParagraph);

            Run run1 = new Run();
            run1.addText("Hello Word");
            
            Run footnoteReferenceRun = new Run();
            footnoteReferenceRun.setVerticalAlignment(VerticalAlignment.SUPERSCRIPT);
            footnoteReferenceRun.add(footnoteReference);

            Paragraph paragraph1 = new Paragraph();
            paragraph1.add(run1);
            paragraph1.add(footnoteReferenceRun);

            doc.getBody().add(paragraph1);

            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.docx", true);
