Smart Tags Bring Outlook Features to Word

You can use Microsoft Word smart tags to update your Microsoft Outlook® Address Book and more.


When you type a person's name, Word 2002 recognizes it and marks it with a smart tag indicator. When you click the Smart Tag Actions button, a list of several possible actions appears. For example, you can choose to add the person to your Outlook Contacts list, send an e-mail message, or schedule a meeting.

Editor's Note: To turn this feature on or off, on the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, then click the Smart Tags tab, and select or clear the Person names (English).
