Inserting Information with Smart Tags

Word searches through your document for certain text that it recognizes (names, phone numbers, stock symbols, and so on) and, when it finds that text, attaches a smart tag to it. You use the smart tag to obtain additional information about an item or to perform some type of action. Because smart tags are add-ins, there are many different types available, depending on which ones are installed on your computer.

Insert a Character

  1. Look through your document for text with the purplish-red dotted underline that indicates a smart tag.

  2. Point to the text and wait for the Smart Tag Actions button to appear.

  3. Click the Smart Tag Actions button.

  4. In the drop-down list that appears, click the action you want to take. The actions listed depend on the type of data represented by the text (an address or a name, for example) and the type of smart tag being used.

Tip

Note the difference between smart tags and Actions buttons. A smart tag identifies a certain type of text. An Actions button lists the actions you can perform. Some Actions buttons, such as the AutoCorrect and Paste Options buttons, aren’t associated with smart tags.
