OT: help w/Skype

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

My kids installed Skype on the home PC.  Now all numbers which MIGHT
be phone numbers turn into phone numbers (instead of remaining as
columns of numbers).

How do I turn this off?

Thanks,

You mean, like, your bank account balance turns into a phone number?  ;-)

I assume you mean in something like IE or Firefox.  Look for a Skype icon in the application you are using, clicking it should toggle this feature.  You can try to hover over it with the mouse first, it just might tell you what will happen if you click it.

Contact me direct and I will be happy to assist.

Nahhh.  Phone numbers can't be negative!

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Yes, that's the Skype Internet Explorer add-on.

You should have a button titled Skype in the Internet Explorer toolbar. If
clicked, it turns numbers that look like telco numbers into buttons.

Either click it again to shut that feature off, or uninstall just the add-on.

Details here, but you can just click the drop-down arrow and one of the
choices is to uninstall the add-on. No doubt that line will get wrapped.

I always uninstall that add-on. I never use it.
