1) Open Word Options (That big button on the upper left side of the screen)
2) Click Proofing tab
3) Click AutoCorrect Options
4) On Smart Tags tab check "Label text with smart tags"

I get the feeling that MS have lost enthusiasm for this feature.

I note that the Research Service Smart Tag Action mechanism is pretty well broken in Outlook 2007 and when it does work is about 5 times slower than it was in 2003.

Chris,
To be honest, I forgot about research services (if that's what you're talking about). I remember doing an article about it a while ago. But I haven't done much since then.

I am not sure if they done anything new in this area, but I will take a look at it and maybe write new article :) (eventhough I suspect the process for creating research services has changed).
