[CS5] Turn off bounding box?

When I select multiple items InDesing creates this so called handy bounding box around them.
Does anyone know how to turn this off?
This bounding box wouldn't be so bad if I could still resize the seperate items within the selection by grabbing one of the handles of an object. Like it was possible in CS4!
Why did this change anyway? Did Adobe got many complaints that InDesign was working too well and that it should be made more difficult for its users?

The frame edge drives me crazy. It is one of my three biggest complaints wit InDesign CS5.
My list:
Background Tasks - I want the 1% of the time and could live without it then, preferring the straight out dialog.
Network losses - CS5 is far too sensitive about seeing a dropped network connection when it isn't dropped
Frame Edges - At minimum I don't want them when I'm hiding frame edges.

How do I turn off text box in pages?

how do I turn off text box in pages?

Thank you Peter and Jerry.
Screen shot above. I know it's not much, but there it is.
In actual fact I can make the text box bigger, but I just want to have the option of not having a text box.
It should be simple, and not actually need a screen shot: just simple instructions. It seems pretty fundamental to me. Does anyone know how to do this?
Best, Angela

CS5 turn off object selection "target"?

Does anyone know if it's possible to toggle off the object selection target (the thing that looks like a focus ring from an older film lens) that appears as a default within the image box? I can't tell you the number of times I've meant to move an entire image box and accidentally shifted the image within the bounding box instead. It's a-makin me craaazy!

Nobody needs it - I'm clueless to why it was ever introduced?
I turned it off too - but I have to admit I would use it if the target was smaller. With the content grabber on there is too much chance of accidently moving an image within the frame.

Turn off click box reporting for all

When we capture screens, the click boxes are set to report answers. Before Captivate 7, you could turn it off and then do a Save to all of same type. That feature no longer works in Captivate 7 or 8. Is there a way to turn it off before capturing the screens?

Hi there
After the recording is complete, you are able to edit the properties of one Click Box to turn off reporting, then use the Apply to All button.

How do I turn on bounding box?

How do I turn back on selection bounding box?

You can have a box when using the Move tool by enabling the "Show Transform Controls" option in the options bar at the top (while the tool is selected).
You can add a box to a selection by enabling the transform controls (Control/Command+T or from the Edit menu).
But if you are just looking for a box to surround a selection that offers no controls, this isn't a feature.

How do I turn off transfer box?

Firefox 4 added an annoying transfer box on the lower part of the screen. How do I turn it off?

Is this where it is displaying the status messages? If it is, the easiest way to change the behavior is to use the Status-4-Evar add-on. With it you can choose to not display any of the status messages, or display them in the add-ons bar or location bar instead.

Why did bounding boxes go away in the latest version of illustrator?

I just installed the latest version of AI after my machine died and for some reason I no longer have a bounding box when selecting a single shape with the selection tool. When selecting multiple shapes I do get a bounding box but not for single objects. Can anyone help me turn the bounding box feature back on or possibly revert to an older version? PLEASE HELP!!!!

yuchangeai,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks).
So a switch to Mavericks with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

FBL2, turn off auto apply to customer accounts

When we upload a bank statement into SAP using FBL2, the funds are auto applying to the wrong invoices on a customer's account. I want to have auto-apply turned off so we can allocate funds to the correct invoice or document on the customer's account. I know you can do this as I have done it before.
I have been told turning off the auto-apply function will mean we cannot upload bank statements into SAP.
Is this correct?
Thanks very much.

Hi,
Turning Off Means no more you can upload but I as Per y knowledge you need not turn off Lock Box for currecting Lock box Postings instead you can go to FLB1 ,Give the date and click on Lock box overview, there you will find list of Line items and from the Menu options you can change and report the items.
Hope this will Help you in correcting your worng entries.
Thanks

Can I turn off the "transformation bounding box" feature in CS6?

The Transformation Bounding Box is the resultant "square selection" that includes all selected objects and it bugs me. I found discussions of this in connection to CS5 but I jumped from CS4 to CS6. I can't find a pref anywhere to turn it off.
Does anybody know how?
Thanks for any insight.
Mick

I sure haven't been able to find a pref for it! Looked everywhere…
That's too bad… the same complaint was addressed in CS5 thread I found and one of the Adobe guys provided a link for a feature request. I guess that request was rejected!
C'mon, Adobe… this one seem simple. Please?

Turning off Keep Options in InDesign CS5

I'm having a real nightmare with Keep Option in ID CS5.
I was hoping I could use them to stop orphans but they seem to create them unnecessarily.
I turned on some Keep Options in my style sheet for my body text and I couldn't get them to work the way I wanted.
Now I just want to turn all the Keep Options off and have the text flow normally - when it reaches the end of the text frame to go to the next regardless of where it is in the paragraph.
So I have all the Keep Options turned off in the Paragraph Style Sheet and the lines are still breaking too early.
Is this a bug?

Hello Jongware, I take your point that the Keep Options in the Paragraph Styles is pretty self explanatory and I have to admit to causing some of the confusion myself.
But to prevent widows and orphans selecting "Keep Lines Together", then filling in 2 in the "At Start/End of paragraph" Start and End lines, unfortunately breaks 3 or 4 line paragraphs at the beginning of pages.
(I read somewhere that widows are at the top of pages/columns; orphans at the bottom).
Also I find the Keep Options dialogue box from the Paragraph palette rather confusing:
The "Keep with Previous" with a check box followed by an indented "Keep with Next" just throws me!
But thanks to you and everyone else, I pretty much get it now.

CS5 Smart Guides: Can't Turn Off?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't seem to turn off the smart guides in CS5. The menu item is unchecked; turning them on and then back off again does nothing.
Is this a known issue? Operator error? Something else?

Wow that was quick.
In reply to:
And how do you figure turning off frame edges is going to make it LESS likely that you'd move the wrong object?
Well it wasn't in previous versions and now it is. Therefore I can gauge my performance based on previous versions.
For example at this moment I have a 2 sided A4 brochure that has to be at the printer by the morning. The job is for a surf company. The file contains a place illustrator file of a pretty complex illustration. There are photos and text boxes and on top of that I have several cut and pasted vector files from Illustrator as part of the theme that I need editable so I can change colours, gradients and transparencies. So all up there is a lot going on. I have quite a few more layers than usual, so that I can lock layers to prevent the "smart highlighting" happening. But in the design process I need a lot of elements active to be tweeked to get the file the way I want it to look.
Now I have a new mac with lots of RAM, but still when you have a complex file with lots of stuff going on, and you want to zoom in and change something quickly because the client who is sharing screen with you on skype wants to put a gradient fade behind a some text to give it some pop... which then makes a millisecond of redraw time happen and your mouse is also loaded to place an image at the same time into a frame, I have found that when you are moving your mouse across the page, while the "smart frame edges" function is occurring, the highlighted frame sometimes will dump the loaded image or eye dropped colour into an unintentional frame or element. It doesnt happen all the time but it is enough to make you want to write in a forum like this. I do this kind of work enough to know it is stifling the creative process. If I was designing a catalogue with a photo on one side and a description on the other there wouldn't be as much of a concern.
Sorry if the spelling is bad its almost 2am and I still have about an hour to go.

Flash CS5.5 Auto-Saves Even When Auto-Save is Turned Off In Preferences

So I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, and in the preferences, I have the "Auto-Recovery" set to "5 minutes", and it's turned OFF. However, about every minute or so, my projects auto-save. It's annoying because it freezes it for about 2 seconds. It's especially annoying when I'm in the middle of drawing something or doing something like that. It screws me up, and it's annoying. It's DEFINITLEY turned off, and it auto-saves for me still. Yes, I KNOW it's definitley auto-saving, because the asterisk (*) in the project title disappears after it's done loading for 2 seconds every minute. Help. Thanks.
Here's my PC's specs if you needed to know......

Hi ,
Autosave and Auto- recover is two different option . If you need to disable or set the Autosave options please follow the steps below :
1 ) Create a New Document dialog box has an option to set Autosave OFF & ON
2) In Document PI under Properties section click on wrench image i.e Edit document properties button and turn ON / OFF Auto -Save option.
I hope this help.
Thanks
