Smart Tags
A set of buttons shared across Office applications, smart tags appear as needed (when you paste data, for example, or make an error in a Microsoft Excel formula) to provide options for completing a task quickly.









Task Panes
Access important tasks from a single location with task panes. Perform searches, open documents, view your Clipboard, format documents and presentations, download templates from the Web, and more.









Paste Options Smart Tags
