If you've ever written a paper for school, you're likely all too familiar with appendices. An appendix is a section of a document that provides supporting information, including references that you used to write the content that the reader just enjoyed. To add an appendix to a Word document, you'll insert a page break at the end of your document text and insert the title "Appendix," centered, at the top of that page before beginning your appendices below it.

The word "appendix" comes from the word "append," which means to add something as an attachment or supplement. Whether you're writing an academic paper, business report, book or some other type of document, your appendix will go at the end. You can gather the information for your appendix as you go along, but it's probably easier to build your appendix as you go.
