You can use smart tags (smart tags: Data recognized and labeled as a particular type. For example, a person's name or the name of a recent Microsoft Outlook e-mail message recipient is a type of data that can be recognized and labeled with a smart tag.) to perform actions in Microsoft Word that you'd normally open other programs to do.

The purple dotted lines beneath text in your document indicate smart tags.
