Iaxia I hate code! Posts: 108 Reg: Feb 04, 2012 Toronto 7,080	confirm \| cancel 04/20/12 12:44 PM (13 years ago) Incorrect interpretation of text I've used the text 'plot(1:10, 1:10)' in an .html document I've created in Word. When I load that .html document to my app the 1:10s of that text appear underlined and in a blue colour, and the iPhone offers my the option to Create an Event if I tap on the numbers -- not what I want. Any idea how to make it so that the those numbers are just numbers? I've included the relevant html code below. <p class=MsoNormal><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><span style='font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi'>Example#1: </span></b><span style='font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi'>Make a plot with two series as lines. <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span class=GramE><span style='font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;color:red'>plot</span></span><span style='font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;color:red'>(1:10, 1:10, type="n") <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span class=GramE><span style='font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;color:red'>lines</span></span><span style='font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;color:red'>(1:10, sample(1:10), <span class=SpellE>lwd</span>=2, col="blue")<o:p></o:p></span></p> Title Comments I've used the text 'plot(1:10, 1:10)' in an .html document I've created in Word.

The results can be unexpected. One thing to try is going into your control panel, select the screen you are interested in, click on Advanced Properties, then Document Behaviour. There is a drop-box there called "Detect Phone Number / Address links?" Turn that off, and it "might" take care of your problem. I'm not entirely sure this option also pertains to dates and times.

If you have word, do you have frontpage too, it's part of the extended office package? That'd produce better html and the UI isn't too much different to word.

I don't have Frontpage but I've got Dreamweaver, perhaps I'll just re-write things in that. @Mark, thanks. I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work -- I'll just continue to regret using Word and go through the re-write on Dreamweaver. Comments @Raveyd, HA, I wondered why everyone else had such different looking code from mine.
