I have been unable to find anything in Word's Help or other documentation to
indicate that the Paste Options, and AutoCorrect Options buttons are "smart
tags." Help applies that term only to text with purple dotted underlines.
Admittedly, the "About smart tags" Help topic includes a section, "Other
buttons you may see in your document," that discusses the Options buttons;
although it does not call them smart tags, I can only assume that this is
where the widespread misapprehension that Options buttons = smart tags
originated.

OK: The thing you are seeing is a "Smart Tag".
In Mac Word, it's in PreferencesEditCut and Paste OptionsShow Paste
Options Buttons
In WinWord it's in ToolsOptionsEditCut and Paste OptionsShow Paste
Options Buttons

appear
when you hover over that location, but sometimes they do stick around.
See here for Google/Entourage gateway to Mac-specific newsgroups, by the

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?
