smart tags
my colleague and I both have Office 2003. The Smart Tags on my PC seem to be
working differently to my colleagues. On mine,if any numbers have been stored as text, it flags them up with a smart tag and I can quickly convert them to numbers, however, on his PC, they are not flagged so he doesn't know when they are stored as text and can't convert them. I have checked Tools Auto-Correct and Smart Tags our options seem to be the same. (I have no tick for 'label data with smart tags' and neither does he?) Is there another setting which may have switched his smart tags off permanenty which I can get back? Thank you. Louise |

What you see are not Smart Tags Go to ToolsOptionsError Checking and checkmark "enable error checking" Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 2 Nov 2006 02:11:02 -0800, Louise wrote: my colleague and I both have Office 2003.

smart tags
all the years i have been using Excel and I didn't know about those Error
Checking options. What do smart tags label then? Just names and financial symbols? Thanks for this.

The error-checking was introduced with Excel 2002 version. For all you need to know about Smart Tags see Help on "smart tags" and "about smart tags". I never use them so cannot speak to their functionality or efficacy.
