1. Move the insertion point over the text until the Smart Tag Actions button appears.
2. Click the button, and then click Remove this Smart Tag.

Note  Word will continue to mark smart tags when you add or edit text in the document, including new instances of the smart tag that you removed.

These steps remove all smart tags, including smart tags labeled by recognizers you may no longer have and smart tags recognized in a document opened on someone else's computer. You cannot undo this action, although you can replace smart tags for which you have a smart tag recognizer installed.

1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the Smart Tags tab.
2. Click Remove Smart Tags, and then click Yes to confirm the deletion.

Note  Word removes the smart tags from your document. However, Word continues to mark new smart tags for any recognizers that are still active (those selected in the Recognizers list on the Smart Tags tab of the AutoCorrect dialog box).

In Microsoft Office Word 2003, you can turn off smart tags for data types or individual data items.

1. Move the insertion point over the text until the Smart Tag Actions button appears.
2. Click the button, and then point to Stop Recognizing "term".
3. Do one of the following:
   • Click as smart tag name to prevent Microsoft Word from recognizing the data type.
   • Click as Smart Tag to stop recognizing the term.

     Note  When you stop recognizing a term, you delete the smart tag permanently.

1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the Smart Tags tab.

2. Clear the Label text with smart tags check box.
