No, no, no! The *wavy* purple underlines are something else (though not
anything the ordinary user is likely to see):

In an XML document, Word uses purple wavy vertical lines and underlines to
indicate XML structure that does not adhere to the XML schema that is
attached to the document.
Note XML features, except for saving documents as XML with the Word XML
schema, are available only in Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 and
stand-alone Microsoft Office Word 2003.
There are also dotted purple underlines:

Smart tags appear with purple dotted underlines beneath text. You can use
smart tags to perform actions in Word that you'd normally open other
programs to do.
For those who are interested in XML or smart tags, Word MVP Bill Coan has
written articles on both. The XML article is available for download from
http://www.wordsite.com/downloads/xmlarticle.htm and is also posted at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/library/en-us/dno2k3ta/html/ODC_OFXM
L_in_Office2003_jrd.asp (if you don't want to paste that link together, go
to
http://www.vitalnews.com/cgi-bin/site.pl?t04 for a redirect). AFAIK, he
hasn't yet published the smart tags article.
