Make Your Word Documents Smarter!
How would you like to insert someone’s address into a Word document with one click? If he/she is one of your Outlook Contacts, you can do it with a Smart Tag.
Before you try the next tip, select Tools | AutoCorrect Options… and click the Smart Tag tab. Make sure there is a check in Person Name (English) and Person Name (Outlook e-mail recipients). While you’re at it, make sure Address (English) is also checked.
If you type the name of one of your Outlook Contacts into a Word document and then press ENTER, the name will appear with a dotted purple underline. When you point to the underlined text, a Smart Tag will appear with a drop-down menu. By selecting the appropriate item from the menu, you can (1) insert the person’s address into the Word document, (2) generate an e-mail message to the person, (3) schedule a meeting with the person, or (4) open the person’s contact information directly in Word.
After you insert the address, it will also appear with a dotted purple underline. You can use a Smart Tag that appears next to the address to display a map or get driving directions (at Microsoft’s Expedia Web site).
