error when starting a New Outlook email message: "One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because…" you need to turn the Word's Smart Tags feature off. When Microsoft Word Smart Tags recognizes a date, time, or other information, it will underline the text in purple. The concept allows you to hover the cursor over the info, and click a button menu where you perform tasks such as looking at your Outlook Calendar for that date, or adding a phone number to your Outlook Contacts. As this feature requires ActiveX, and when using HTML email ActiveX will be blocked by default, resulting in that annoying error message. If you save an email with Smart Tags as a PoliteMail template, the template may not load correctly in the future. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have created a signature within Outlook with Smart Tags on, then the ActiveX Smart Tag will be built into the phone numbers within your signature. After you disable Smart Tags, you will want to rebuild and save your signature, then delete the old one. Remember to delete and recreate any signatures you created with Smart Tags on, after you have made the following option changes.
