My text for 2008 becomes 200 “smiley face”
-
On my most recent top post at http://www.genevaanderson.wordpress.com called Art hound, in two places where I had “2008” in my text inserted from MSWord, it became 200 with the 8 replaces by a smiley face emoticon. I looked at the source code for the page and sure enough, where I had (2008) had the 8 replaced with the code below for the emoticon. Does anyone have any idea why in just two places, the 8 became the emoticon while in others, its the 8. I tried deleting the 2008 in the wordpress editing window just in case MSWord Insert left something in my text but that didn’t help. I tried cleaning the Word file with a new one and forced Normal style and re-inserted it but that didn’t help. Any idea what might be in the text that is causing eights to become smiley faces in these cases
thanks

The text 8) is interpreted as a smiley face.
You can disable this on the Settings / Writing tab of your blog. Un-check the box that says “Convert emoticons like :-) and :-P to graphics on display” and click Save.

But if you don’t want to disable smilies in general, just want to avoid those accidental ones, you’ll have to write the parenthesis this way (in the html editor):
<span>)</span>
or this way:
& # 4 1 ;
