IMessage Words Underlined

This morning I wanted to send a text to my brother (who has an Android).  I typed in my message and pressed send.  The "sent" message came up in its green balloon, but should some of the words underlined!  But they weren't underlined when I typed them in.  Sent a new message to my brother telling him I could not explain why some of the words were underlined; he texted back that they were NOT underlined on his end.  Have not noticed this before but I am new to the iPhone (have a 5c) and I have not particularly looked for this before.  ------ Looking at the messages I sent again just now, I see that if I tap the underline words I get options to Create Event, Show in Calendar, or Copy!  So I guess the underlining has a purpose but I do not understand the logic of it.  What is this?

Apple calls these "Smart Links". When typing a message in either an email or a text message, iOS will look for both numerical and word versions of both dates and times. It will also recognize links and email addresses. The purpose of these "Smart Links" is to facilitate adding events to your calendar.

  • IMessages from underlining text & links!

    How can I stop iMessages from underlining parts if text & links? The underline does not appear while typing, only after the message is sent.

    I know this is an old thread but it’s still showing up as a top result on Google and obviously nobody ever actually gave the correct answer. The white underlines are iOS 7’s attempt to identify words and phrases that might link to a calendar event. Clicking the underlined phrase will open the recipient’s calendar app to create an event. It could be as specific as “2pm next Tuesday” or as generic as “tonight for dinner”. It often happens when you don’t even want it to, like any time you say something like “tomorrow”.  Rarely useful, often confusing, almost always annoying. And, in true Apple form, you can't turn it off.

  • I use Firefox as my default browser but, on any site, keep getting some words underlined in green from which an ad pops up. Really peeing me off! Doesn't happen on IE or Chrome. How can I stop this?

    I use Firefox as my default browser but, on any site, keep getting some words underlined in green from which an ad pops up. Really peeing me off! Doesn't happen on IE or Chrome. How can I stop this?

    From what you have described, I don't think you are ever going to pick that up as malware at all. But I did look at the site you mentioned in Google Chrome, and in IE9. First thought was maybe Chrome suppresses it, but that would be contrary to trying to convince you that their AdSense or IntelliTXT is "helping" you.
    What I did find in Chrome was
    "Google Chrome's connection attempt to ad-apac.doubleclick.net was rejected. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured."
    Since I don't have ad blockers in Chrome or IE, that tells me that my hosts file is doing its job, you can draw you own conclusions. There is something similar displayed in IE, but I can't read what was there because the font-size was too big. for the space. In Firefox with "Adblock Plus" extension it is all wiped out. The hosts file works across the entire system but is directed at blocking malware sites more than advertising. "Adblock Plus" is very good at blocking ads and can do its blocking with more generic filters, and can block a lot of malware from coming in but it can't block at the system level that a hosts file can.
    In IE although I can only see "It appea" because the font is too large and text does not wrap it does actually say "It appears you are connected to the Internet, but you might want to try to reconnect to the Internet."
    I would certainly suggest installing "Adblock Plus" extension and the "Easylist (USA)" filter subscription -- links are in the links previously provided, and installing the hosts file as well also in the links.
    It takes a bit more work to install and maintain a hosts file but the directions should be clear enough.

  • Why does some of my text in imessage get underlined?

    Why does some of the text in my imessages get automatically underlined, and how do I change this please?

    Is it underlining phone numbers, links? You cannot change it when highlighted blue. If it is underlined red then it has registered as a spelling error. Try going to (Settings > General > Keyboard) There, you can turn off "Check Spelling" and it will no longer underline any words.

    Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
    *You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
    * Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
    * Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
    You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
    * Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
    You can look here for dictionaries:

  • Why doesn't Thunderbird underline misspelled words so that the spell checker can suggest alternatives?

    I can't activate spell checker because there are no misspelled words underlined, when I know that there are.

    To enable underlining of incorrectly spelt words as you type:
    'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Composition' > 'Spelling' tab
    or
    'Menu icon' > 'Options' > 'Options' > 'Composition' > 'Spelling' tab
    select : 'Enable spell check as you type'
    click on OK
    However, you do not have to have this enabled in order to use Spellcheck.
    Click on 'Spelling' in the toolbar, it will open a small window offering potential spelling corrections for mispelt words.

  • RH8 Linked Word 2007 docx - not all hyperlinks convert

    I'm brand new to RoboHelp. I'm linking Word docs instead of importing, and some Word cross-references are not turning into RH hyperlinks. Most of them work just fine. The ones that don't work look like hyperlinks; they are blue and bold (picking up the correct style from Word) but when I check the HTML, there is no code for a link. All the links in Word were created the same way: cross-references to Headers. Many, but not all, of the dead links have the first letter underlined. Some functional links have the first letter or word underlined too, as well as the whole link underlined.
    Do only certain levels of headers convert to links (e.g. H1 and H2 only) or is there a maximum number of links allowed per Word docx? Why are only fragments of the links underlined?  I saw a few related questions in forums about hyperlinks not converting at all, but most of mine did convert. If none of them had, I'd know I was missing a switch somewhere, but since most of them work, and they were all created the same way, I'm not sure how to fix.
    The Word documents were created by converting FrameMaker 7 documents to FrameMaker 9, then exported as RTF (the export from Frame 7 was not really usable). I created a Word template, created new documentx from it, then copied the RTF text. The cross-references all had to be redone, as the links in Frame were not to headers, but to manually created bookmarks.
    I'd really like to keep the source docs in Word, so that I don't have to make all the future updates myself (the coders already use Word; they have no time to learn RoboHelp). Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
    Thak you, Debbie @ Tronia Systems

    Hi Susie,
    I've been pulling my hair out for two days over these darn links that won't convert
    I have Headings level 1-5 in my Word docx. The project settings in RoboHelp specify to create new HTML pages for Headers 1, 2, and 3. It is some, but not all, of the Header level 4 and 5’s that are not converting to links in RH. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it or not. That's the frustrating part – if ALL the Header 4 and Header 5’s didn’t convert, that indicates one kind of problem. But most of them DID convert. And they were all created the same way!
    In Word 2007, creating cross-references to headers was the easiest way to create my links, so I created all of them that way. For the stubborn ones that just wouldn't convert to RoboHelp, I tried every other way I could think of to create links. This is the only way I could get them to work:
    From the Insert ribbon, click Hyperlink instead of Cross-Reference
    Link to: Place in this document
    Select place: pick the header destination
    It takes much longer this way, but it works. If you come up with a more streamlined solution, please feel free to share

    GOT IT FIXED!  WOW!
    I did better than filing a bug report.  I went to Apple support, chose chat support.  When it wanted $15 or was it $19 I filed an exemption which was a choice on the page, based on the fact that I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
    Got the chat fellow and here we go!!!!  ;-)  First off he sent me this app so he could see my screen.  Then he had me do a few things  like move the system configuration folder to the desktop and repair permissions.  Then he had me reset the SMC and Pram.  Nothing helped, all the ghost computers still showed in the finder.
    As a last resort he had me reset my Apple Airport Extreme.  Wala!  Ghost Computers GONE!  He said it was a combination of stuff but mainly it was the airport extreme when I installed Yosemite.  Something to do with my network.  We'll see if it holds or if the problem comes back but as of now there's no more ghost computers in the sharing part of the finder.
    Thanks to all who offered suggestions.  I hope maybe this helps someone else.

  • My skype to go number nightmare

    So I am annoyed. I set up a skype to go number so I wouldn't have large phone bills with my cell phone. I set up a skype to go number a month ago for a small fee so I could call for a list of people I like to call regularly in the States. I just received a 1000.00 dollar phone bill! I couldn't beleive it! So I went into my skype account and noticed that these numbers have been routing through Alberta!  Now I am not able to update my current city for my skype to go number.I keep trying to change the location to Toronto but it keeps defaulting back to Alberta! So angry with this bill! I feel totatally misled and taking advatage of. Keeps saying there is techinical difficulties! Is there a number where I can call and speak to a customer service agent?
    Beyond disappointed with this current service!

    Hi,
    thanks for your response.  So I just tried again and the same thing is happening. When I am on the skype to go page, there is an option on the right to 'update location'. This takes me to a column where I am able to scroll down the drop box and choose 647 Toronto, however after I click continue on the bottom right of the screen it takes me to a weird screen with just a list of skype words underlined. It is very strange. When I scroll half way down it reads "oops something went very wrong, we are experiencing some technical difficulty please try again in a few minutes' But this has been for a week now. Any help mystery friend??

  • Can't stop pop-up ads on Safari

    Using OS X 10.9.2, Mavericks. Safari preferences has pop-up blocker turned on, but in the lower left corner of the Safari window, a square pops up with some sort of ad. There is a button that when clicked, causes the ad to reduce in size, but not disappear completely.
    Also, part of the text on the page being displayed, has words underlined with two lines. When the cursor passes over these double underlined words, an ad for some product pops up. There is no consistency for the product in the pop-up.
    Anyone else having similar issues? Got a cure??

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

    With the new much more versatile Flash Text Engine (I am not reffering to FTL), I have successfuly created the wrapper. However i have one problem.
    WHY new Flash Text Engine sometimes added a space between 2 characters? it makes the text ugly
    I have uploaded the image to prove my point
    Please Note : That the Left Side is the HTML Text Render (which correctly render all texts)
    With KERNING set to "on" , check the word 'underline' and the word 'paragraph' (I have marked it with red circle)
    With KERNING set to "off", check the word 'Text' and the word 'paragraph' (I have marked it with red circle)
    Now, is there any solution? hell, i should have turned 'on' the kerning right? but both turning 'on' and 'off' presents a problem of their own (in how they add a space randomly)
    Any help will be greatly appreciated, or even a "you should look at Class X" will be enough (I am quite proficient in ActionScript 3.0)
    Cheers and God Bless,

    You are right about high CPU usage. It was even when playing various computer games. I don't have problems anymore. But not because I disabled all addons. I did these things:
    In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
    Search for dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode in the list of preferences.
    Double-click on the preference to toggle its value from false to true. (If the setting is already true it means that Flash Protected Mode is currently disabled.)
    Close Firefox.
    Restart Firefox.
    And since then I don't have that particular problem with overloading. I just disabled some of flash protected mode. How is that related with "overloading"? Strage. Hardware acceleration I've enabled again as without it whole text field in news sites is sometimes black.
    Thanks anyway Mr.

  • Spell Checker - Office

    Hello,
    I am searching for an automatic spell checker that works on Microsoft Office - in particular Word and Outlook.
    I want when I am writing e-mails or documents in Word to see the mistaken words underlined. This goes for English and Bulgarian languages.
    Thank you!
    Best,
    Georgi

    Have you really not already looked at the menus Tools > Spelling and Grammar and Tools > Language?

  • Text on a web page is highlighted with a link to another web page, is this an add-on or some other Firefox issue?

    Today certain words on a web page are being highlighted in yellow with a double underscore and hovering over them causes a link to an external site to appear. I haven't knowingly installed any add-ons so is this being caused by something within Firefox or is it external?
    Thanks for your help
    Tim

    It would help to know the website, the words underlined and details of the link.
    It sounds like a spell or grammar check or a translation facility.
