They are smart tags - tools > autocorrect options > smart tags.

OK, now I'm going to sound like an idiot, because I don't know what
Word is doing. Whenever I type something that Word thinks might be a
location or address, Word puts a line of pink dots under it. For
example, Word thinks that "Baseline AK" must be a town in Alaska, so
it highlights the phrase.

The line of dots is not the same as the red squiggle Word puts under
misspelled words, and it doesn't seem to do anything. I've right
clicked, left clicked, double clicked, shift clicked, etc., and
nothing seems to happen and the dots don't go away.

They don't print, so I've tried to ignore them, but it bugs the heck
out of me that I don't know what Word is trying to tell me. Is there
anybody out there who can tell me what these dots mean, or how to get
rid of them?

I'm running Word 2003 in Windows XP Professional.

Thanks.
