remove dashed line under address line in word document
I need to attach a letter from word to an e-mail and I don't want any
auto-corrections to show. At the top of the letter, I have an address line. There's a red dashed line under the address and I can't figure out how to disable it. Just looks unprofessional, you know?! Thanks for the help. |

remove dashed line under address line in word document
You should be able to 'right click' and click on 'ignore suggestions'. It's
saying it doesn't like the way it is done... However, it may still go through on their computer as an incorrect or red squiggly line on the end-users PC as their definitions may be set up to do so. Just because it looks right on your computer doesn't mean that it'll be right on their computer...

That line probably indicates that the address is recognized by a "Smart Tag". If you hover the mouse over the address, do you get a small square with the i-in-circle "information" symbol? Clicking on that square will display a dropdown menu of actions the Smart Tag can do. You can turn off the display of Smart Tags for yourself in Tools AutoCorrect Options Smart Tags. If you send the document to someone else and they have Smart Tags enabled, though, they'll still see the underline (but presumably that's the way they're used to seeing it). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Alternatively, you can remove the smart tags from the document (Tools |
AutoCorrect Options | Smart Tags). As for spelling and grammar "errors," you can choose "Hide spelling/grammatical errors in this document" (Tools | Options | Spelling and Grammar) so that they won't be displayed on anyone's system. -- Suzanne S.

The tags aren't saved in the document, but if the recipient has Smart
Tags enabled, their recognizer will show the tags just as if they had been saved.

remove dashed line under address line in word document
Run that one by me again!
If I have a document with autocorrections I have just made, they have smart tags. If I save and close and re-open the document those autocorrections now no longer have smart tags. If I send it to someone else are you saying they can see those smart tags? It offers up some intriguing possibilities. -- Enjoy, Tony "Jay Freedman" wrote in message news The tags aren't saved in the document, but if the recipient has Smart Tags enabled, their recognizer will show the tags just as if they had been saved.

remove dashed line under address line in word document
Is it possible the two of you are using "smart tags" to mean different
things? Although the term is frequently applied to buttons such as the Paste Options button and the AutoCorrect Options button, MS uses "smart tags" only to refer to "Data recognized and labeled as a particular type," such as names and addresses. Obviously I'm clueless about this because I have totally disabled (and to the extent possible removed) smart tags in my documents. -- Suzanne S.

remove dashed line under address line in word document
I think we may have a terminology problem here.
AutoCorrect is one mechanism, and Smart Tags are another, despite their options being placed in the same dialog. When AutoCorrect has done something in your document, mousing over it displays a little blue rectangle under the text. Hovering over this rectangle brings up a box containing a lightning-bolt icon, which you can click to get an AutoCorrect Options context menu. The trigger for this behavior isn't saved in the document, and it won't show up in the recipient's copy. It exists only during the current session, until you close the document. Smart Tags are created by plug-ins that look for things like people's names, addresses, and stock symbols. Programmers using Visual Studio can create custom Smart Tags for things such as product numbers or corporate divisions. Individual plug-ins can be enabled or disabled, or the whole mechanism can be turned off. When a Smart Tag recognizes its target in a document, it applies a red or purple dotted underline to the text, and mousing over that displays a box containing the information "i", which you can click to get a Smart Tags context menu. It's possible but not necessary to save the recognition trigger in the document (Tools Options Save Embed smart tags). My point was that if you see a Microsoft-supplied Smart Tag trigger in your document -- say, an address -- you can turn off Smart Tags on your machine, save the document without embedded tags, and send it to another computer. If that user has Smart Tags enabled, the recognizer on their copy of Word will (probably) recognize the same text. It will look the same as if you had saved the tag. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
