What is red dotted underline?
Okay - the red wavy underline is spelling, and the green wavy
underline is grammar. But what is the red dotted underline? I see under two names - Mohammed and Sonja. Bur Sonja is underlined only once where it appears in a sentence, and not when it appears as the first word in a table. A right-click doesn't bring up anything different in a context menu. Is there a web page or Help file that explains what all these "helpful" markings are supposed to mean?? Ed |

Ed,
Most probably you are talking about SmartTags. In Tools - AutoCorrect Options - Smart Tags tab, you can disable the Smart Tags, remove the check next to Label text with smart tags. Or if you just do not want to see them, Tools - Options - View tab - in the show section uncheck the box Smart tags. -- Luc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint blog: www.sixtiesfan.multiply.com/ "Ed from AZ" schreef in bericht ...

Ed Hi Ed, Yes, there is a Help page titled "What do the underlines in my document mean?", and you can also look at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=901125, "Unusual marks may appear in a Word document". The dotted underline you described is a "smart tag" -- in this case, a word recognized as a name. The dots are supposed to be purple, not red, but that could depend on how your monitor is set up. The controls for smart tags are on a tab of the Tools AutoCorrect Options dialog. If the box at the bottom of that dialog is checked, hovering over a word that has a dotted underline will display a little square Smart Tag Actions button so you can do things like send email (if the name is in your Contacts list). -- 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. |
