Inserting Smart Link

You can insert a reference to a document using the Smart Link option.

Before you begin:
  1. Verify that Smart Tags option is enabled in your Microsoft Office application. Navigate to Office options from the Office button. Select Advanced. In Show document content, enable Smart Tags.
  2. Navigate to Office options from the Office button. Select Word Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options and enable the Label text with Smart tags checkbox.

    Note: For Microsoft Outlook the path is slightly different than the other Microsoft applications. Select Tools > Options > Spelling and AutoCorrection > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options and enable the Label text with Smart tags checkbox.

Note: Enabling Smart Tags must be done for every Microsoft application.

Note: In the Smart Tags menu there is an option to stop recognizing a link (tag) as a Smart Tag / ENOVIA Smart Tag. If you select this option, due to Office behavior, the link to this specific object no longer functions as a Smart Tag. This functionality also applies to a newer document or via a different user.

Note: The SmartTag menu of ENOVIA is not translated for NLS.

Note: The ENOVIA Smart Tag options is now available in Additional Actions menu in MS Office 2010.
