That's reasonable, as the em dash is an AutoFormat feature rather than
AutoCorrect, but if you have the button disabled and are still seeing it, I
have no explanation (but it could have something to do with using EndNote).

Yes that is what I am saying. I can't believe my little question has
sparked
such interest. Nothing I chose to select or de-select in the autoCorrect
dialog helps with the tag disappearing. Also for me this tag only appears
with the indent and not the -- em dash issue discussed earlier.

Are you saying that if you clear the box for "Show AutoCorrect Options
buttons" in the Tools | AutoCorrect Options dialog you are still getting
the
button?

yes thank you that did not work at all. However I discovered that if
I
click
somewhere and hit the space bar, the box goes away. So although not a
technical fix, one that works. Thank you.

If you right-click on the button, you should get a choice of
AutoCorrect
Options... Click on that to open the AutoCorrect Options dialog.
Clear
the
check box for "Show AutoCorrect Options buttons.

I am using Word 2004 for Macs.
Okay you know when every I indent twice this little, tiny, icon
box
with a
lightening bolt inside pops onto the screen giving me these
options to
change
back to tab, to stop setting indents on tabs and backspaces, and
to go
to
the
autocorrect table. Now I do not actaully want to do any of these
things,
I
have tried ll of them, changing random things in autoformat, etc.
but
what
I
really really really want is to be able to see the text
underneatth
the
box
and keep working! And no the box does not move. Does anyone know
how
to
turn
this thing off?
