To add footnotes to only one page, use section breaks to isolate the page. In your word processor, insert a section break before and after the desired page. Add your footnotes in this section only. Ensure footnote numbering is set to restart in each section under 'Footnote and Endnote' settings. This way, the footnotes will only appear on that specific page, without affecting others.
