Telephone numbers as a hyperlink

Hi,
I have a large document with lots of telephone numbers as a dps folio for smartphones. Is there a way that indesign can convert telephone numbers to hyperlinks automatically like you can with email adresses.
Now i have to do this one by one copy & paste the telephone nummbers in the hyperlink box with tel: in front of the telephone number.
If anyone knows it will help me alot.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Ron

You might be able to automate it with an InDesign script. Try posting in the InDesign forum and asking if anyone knows how to write a script to search a document for phone numbers and convert them to hyperlinks.

ASCII (SYMBOLS & CHARACTERS) Conversion to Telephone numbers

I am using oracle Release 9.2.0.7.0 and I am trying to access a database containing telephone numbers and codes, the table contains two columns with the names no and code both are VARCHAR2 column datatype. As you can see below the values in these two columns are ASCII characters and symbols. I tried to save the SQLPLUS query (select no, code from subdata) into a a file using spool command but the Ascii symbols and characters have being changed into some other format I am not familiar with I will show it below. Therefore is there a function that can help me to convert the ascii codes into the telephone numbers without doing any import or export, an embedded SQLPlus function will help me very much.
This is a sample of the current table containing the ASCII codes:
no code
%)öFƒ   cs☺ ☻YO
%)ûe_   cs☺ ☻Y_
%)ö►_   cs☺ ☻Y

This is the format I got after I saved the query results of the sub_data table into a text file using SPOOL command:
no Code

How to Format telephone numbers in Adress Book

I want to format all my telephone numbers to an International format as from the UK. Such as +44 #### ### ###. But try as I will to input this into Address Book Phone Preferences under custom nothing happens. The drop box gives three pre-set format and the custom option ~ I can alter the pre-set numbers but not save them, I can also enter a custom set up but it does not save or implement itself.
Strangely the presets work, but not when altered (I have pressed enter to save!)
Can anyone make some 'sane' suggestions as I need to get all telephone numbers in the same +44 format without having to go through everything by hand.
Here's hoping, thanks guys.

Hi Thierry,
thank you for that suggestion. I've already found [ODS for Marketing Attributes|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/07/d545a50869754fbad8062e17c2ea0e/frameset.htm] when I've searched in the CRM Documentation. I've just asked my BI colleague to do the extract to BW. I will then write a Web Service on the BW which can be called from the external system.

My contacts are listed by telephone numbers instead of names in my messages since I upgraded to OS8? How can I change it to names?l,

Under Settings->Messages->Send & Receive
1) is your Apple ID listed there?
2) Under "You can be reached..." is your phone number appearing at the top of the list and does it have a checkmark next to it?
3) Under "Start New Conversation From" is the checkmark next to your phone number?

Why do my senders of txt messages show up as telephone numbers instead of names?

Automatic insertion of spaces in telephone numbers in iPhone OS 3.0.1

Hello!
I think there are two annoying behaviors in iPhone OS 3.0.1:
• if you go to contacts, create a new contact and enter a telephone number there will be inserted automatically spaces into the telephone number. One the one hand this behavior can be very practical (for example if iPhone 3.0.1 identify thereby already used formats of telephone numbers), on the other hand this behavior can be very annoying (for example if you want to create a special format for one telephone number). If you synchronize telephone numbers from your iMac to your iPhone, iPhone OS 3.0.1 put also automatically spaces into synchronized numbers.
• there is also missing a hyphen in the number keyboard to insert into the telephone number in iPhone OS 3.0.1.
First I think it would be a very good if there would be a function in iPhone OS 3.1 which deactivates the automatic insertion of spaces, secondly I think there should be a a hyphen in the number keyboard to insert into the telephone number in iPhone OS 3.0.1.
How do you think about my suggestions?

Mobile number and telephone numbers not displying in lync contacts for other SIP domains.

Hi everyone,
we recently migrated Lync 2010 to 2013, we have 2 SIP boc.bh and scys.gov.bh and local domain boc.local.
lync users for boc.bh not getting telephone numbers & mobile number on lync contact list, same happening for scys.gov.bh lync users they are not able to see any boc.bh lync user telephone number and mobile number on lync list.
but old with lync 2010 all users able to see all numbers in lync list.
recently we changed user UPN suffix for BOC.bh and scys.gov.bh to respective users.
there is no any error massage on lync servers.
manish yadav

Hi Manish!
On the Lync Server 2013 environment you can run the Lync PowerShell command: "Update-CsUserDatabase" after 5 minutes run the command: Update-CsAddressBook
Please after that run: "Invoke-CsManagementStoreReplication" wait for Lync replication with command: "Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus" when Status for each server is appearing as True finally apply the following steps to test with
2 accounts:
Log off of the Lync client and delete the profile from:
%userprofile%\appdata\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync
then execute the following command in the command prompt to add the registry that forces the Lync client to immediately download the address book:
reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync /v GalDownloadInitialDelay /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Sign-in to users again to lync client and test between each other.

How can I include telephone numbers when printing address labels using Dymo Labelwriter Turbo 330?

I am able to pull info from Apple Address Book using the Dymo Labelwriter application, but I cannot seem to include telephone numbers. Does anyone know how to do this?

short answer
1 - NO
2 - It is up to apple to correct the issue and I have heard they will look at it. It doesn't hurt to call customer support both apple and dymo to let them know you are unhappy about this [it used to work fine in later versions of 10.3]. Also don't let them convince you that you must have installed the driver wrong or something. I have had the same problem on 3 different macs [one of which was brand new] with 2 different dymo label printers.

You can create a new format by opening the Cells Inspector, then selecting "Custom" from the format menu:
You can add the ### fields and click the menu on the left of the field:

Excell spreadsheet Telephone numbers not recognised in Adobe Acrobat DC [iOS]

Before my upgrade to Adobe Acrobat DC on my iPhone, telephone numbers in a excel spread sheet was recognized by Acrobat Reader as such i.e. You would touch and hold the number, then a 'pop up' would appear that gave the option to 'CALL' or 'SEND A MESSAGE'. This function no longer works in Adobe Acrobat DC, why not?

Hi Alex,
Please your other thread for my answer.

I'm using firefox 3.6.4 dutch. On some sites telephone numbers are just visible during 1 second, then they disappear. When refresing they are again visible during 1 second.

Every time Firefox opened

Hello,
the issue of phone numbers disappearing can be fixed by disabling the Skype add-on:
#Go to Tools > Add-ons .
#Find the Skype add-on in the list.
#Click the Disable or the Uninstall button.
#Restart Firefox.
