About Smart Tags

You can save time by using Smart Tags to perform actions in Microsoft Word that you would normally start other programs to perform.


One action you can take is to add a person's name and address from your document to a Microsoft Outlook contact folder. With the Smart Tag, you do not need to copy the information in Word, start Outlook, and then paste the information into Outlook. Instead, click a Smart Tag, and then select the action Add to Contacts. The New Contact dialog box opens with the name and address already entered. If you want, you can fill out any additional information, and then continue with your work in Word.

How Smart Tags Work

Word recognizes certain types of data that it labels with Smart Tags. The type of action you can take depend on the type of data that Word recognizes and labels with a Smart Tag.

For example, "Nate Sun" is recognized as a "person name" Smart Tag with actions you can take such as Open Contact, Schedule a Meeting, Add to Contacts, or Insert Address. The Smart Tag indicators appear beneath the text as you type. They may also appear when you open a previously saved document.

How to Use Smart Tags

When Word recognizes types of data, the data is marked with a Smart Tag indicator, or purple dotted underline. To find out what actions you can take with a Smart Tag, move the insertion point over the text with a Smart Tag indicator until the Smart Tag Actions button appears. Click the button to see a menu of actions.

If you save a Word document that contains Smart Tags as a Web page, some tasks can be performed on the Web using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later. You can also use Smart Tags in your Outlook e-mail messages and in Microsoft Excel.

You can use Smart Tags to perform actions in Microsoft Word that you would normally start other programs to do. The purple dotted lines beneath text in your document indicate Smart Tags.
