Remarks

Actions are the choices available on the smart tag shortcut menu when a smart tag is recognized. For example, "Add name to the Contacts folder" would be one possible action for a string of type Person's Name.

The ActionBase interface is the base interface for Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Action and Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action. To create a smart tag action in an Office solution for Word or Excel, use the Globals.Factory.CreateAction method to create a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Action or Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Action object.

Note

This interface is implemented by the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. It is not intended to be implemented in your code. For more information, see Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Overview.
