How can I stop Pages automatically detecting and converting hyperlinks

Whenever I type or insert a web address or email address in Pages 5.1 it automatically converts it to a hyperlink. Even if I edit it and remove the link, it still adds it back again later while editing the document. How can I stop this happening?

Menu > Edit > Substitutions > Show Substitutions > uncheck Smart Links

  • How can i stop Pages and Numbers JUMPING ALL OVER THE SCREEN. MAKING ME SEASICK! PLEASE HELP

    how can i stop Pages and Numbers  screen JUMPING ALL OVER the place when i just touch my mouse. i have tried and tried to change the mouse settings - but it is the software. especially Numbers. you can't even see what the page size is until you print. i am so SEASICK! PLEASE HELP.

    Thanks for the trouble to reply. this problem only happens with Pages and Numbers for me. i have done all the tricks like restarting. the main problem is that the working space is not 'stable' - it has no 'ends' even on full screen. in Numbers - UNLESS I SET IT TO 25% VIEW (which is way too small) - the actual total 'work space' is way off the grid - so every time i move the mouse the table i am working on zooms off to left or right, at the slightest touch. i have set my mouse to no gestures!
    the thing is this did not happen before the latest upgrades.
    but thanks anyway. SG.
    if you are a techy person - i have another prob. in Mail i am unable to set the SORT / VIEW messages to BY DATE.
    (it used to be ok, at one time, too). now it continually reverts to BY SUBJECT oh so annoying !
    restarting etc does not change it. resetting preferences does not change it.
    maybe i need a new Mac ?
    mine is a 27-inch, Mid 2011. running latest.

  • How can I uninstall Pages 5.2 and go back to Pages 4.3?

    I am very frustrated using Pages 5.2.  It is not as easy to use as 5.2 and causes me all sorts of problems - especially when highlighting text.  How can I uninstall Pages 5.2 and go back to Pages 4.3 which was much easier to use?

    Thanks. The new version of Pages and iMovie are useless to me. I need to delete the new version of Pages so my functional documents won't keep trying to "upgrade" to pages 5.2.  It annoys me to no end. I hope they smarten up soon.
    It seems that Apple is trying to turn its computer applications into iphone apps. They are eliminating essential features and functions that don't work on a 600 dollar pocket watch. It appears to be part of a misguided attempt to have universal cross-platform compatibility. Or they just want to get out of the computer business. I suspect that accountants are having too much influence on business models. There is a place for accountants. But giving too much control to bean counters can eliminate quality and cripple innovation, leading to the ultimate downfall of the corporation.

  • How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

    How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

    Record your voice using iPhone (for ringtone only 35 secs or under are valid), sync iPhone with iTunes.
    In iTunes the recorded voice is listed under Music as some_numbers.m4a.
    Right click on the item and choose Create AAC version.
    Drag the converted voice onto the desktop.
    Delete the voice copy in iTunes. (important step)
    On desktop, rename the some_number.m4a to something_more_intelligent.m4r
    Drag it back to iTunes and you will find it under Tones.
    Now select it (for sync) and connect your iPhone, do a sync.
    If everything works out, it will be in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
    Now choose a contact you want to assign this ringtone, tap Edit and add the ringtone.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I stop Pages converting the second letter in a postcode into lowercase?

    Ever since I had a new upgrade to Pages last year it converts the second letter of a postcode to lowercase even though I have the caps lock on.  How can I stop it doing this?  eg SW15 1QZ becomes Sw15 1QZ.

    Try:
    Menu > Pages > Preferences > Auto-Correction > uncheck Fix Capitilization
    or anything else there that might apply.

  • Ical synch: how can i stop deleting ical items and synch the rest?

    When synching on itunes, it asks to delete 9000+ items from ical, add and modify are 50 or so each, and I'm very confused why this is happening.
    How can i stop this and synch the rest? I do not want to delete anything but it doesn't seem to have option other than synch later.
    I have icloud calendars synch on as well...
    Thanks!!

    Bruno,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Are you using any sync software?
    The easiest thing to try is to refresh the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart, and make sure the deletion preference is not checked.

  • How can I stop pages from automatic reloading, I am aware of the option in advanced, but it does not work for pages like Yahoo News and Drudge Report.

    I am trying to stop pages from being able to automatically reload. Sites such as Drudge Report and now Yahoo News anre reloading before I have a chance to read them and it confuses me due to a disability besides just being annoying. I have found the option in tools-advanced-accessibility and checked it but they still reload. And I did close Firefox and restart.
    I am using version 3.6.8 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722
    Thanks

    The Drudge Report site has a script to reload after 3 minutes:
    var timer = setInterval("autoRefresh()", 1000 * 60 * 3);
    function autoRefresh(){self.location.reload(true);}
    The Yahoo page probably has something similar.
    You can try NoScript to see if you can block that refresh.

  • How can I stop Pages from changing the date of a document?

    It seems that at some point not long ago, I set Pages to use the current date when I use a template that I made.  But now, when I open an existing document that was made with that template, the date is changed to the current date.  I certainly do not want that to happen.  Does anyone know what I can do to stop Pages from doing this?  Thanks so much for any input.
    Al
    Update:  Immediately after posting this question, I found the simple answer:  double clicking the date and unchecking the 'automatic update' box.

    Right click on the date to change its behavior and once you have fixed it resave your template.

  • How can I stop page scrolling to form on loading?

    Hello.
    My page has a list of services available on it and then right at the bottom there is a form people can complete with name and email to contact me if they wish.
    The problem is that this is quite a way down the page and on loading, the page scrolls down to the bottom automatically with the caret flashing in the Name field of the form.
    How can I prevent this from happening.
    Thank you
    Terry

    Sounds like you have a bit of javascript adding focus to the form onload.
    A link would be best, but if you see something like this in your <body> tag, deleting it should do the trick...
    <body onload="document.form.textfield.focus();">

  • How can i combine pages in potrait and layout orientations in one document in Pages '09?

    Hi all,
    I am a new user to iwork '09. Previously I had been using Microsoft office for Mac, but I recently downloaded iWork as i believe Apple designs hardware and software which has better performance.
    So far i am happy with using pages'09, but recently I have gotten frustrated. I do many project documents which have narrative sections which are usually done in portrait orientaion, but these documents also have rather wide tables which are best presented in landscape orientation. I could switch page orientation in word, but in pages, I have not been able to do so. This alone makes working with pages rather difficult and not appropriate for quite a few of my proposals.
    Would anyone be able to advise me on how I can make documents in pages which have some pages in portrait orientation and other in landscape orientations within the same document?
    Please help!
    Ayaz

    Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate the time you have taken out to attend to my query.
    The document I am working on is to be shared with a team for further inputs. Its frustrating how they can all mix page orientations as they use word and I cannot because i use pages. In essence I will also have the final input on some of these documents and then forward them to coleagues internationally, hence they must look presentable and easy to read.
    Do you have any tips I could use? I could use word, but I love the look of my documents when done in pages, its a fantastic word processor, albeit this limitation.

  • HT1689 How can I stop multiple automatic downloads of the same item?

    Why does iTunes keep wanting to download the same item over and over again? How do I stop this without turning off the automatic download function.

    You may click on the "+" button to the right of the first multiple choice box to add more in the same line. When you hover over the button, the tooltip says "insert item beside".

  • How can I stop it from uploading and clear the queue?

    I'm having a hell of a time uploading these photos to my picasa account. After several attempts to get it working, it is now upload all 1,000+ photos and videos about 4 times. It's been going for almost 24 hours now and I just want to cancel and start over. Right now I can only pause uploading but I can't clear the queue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I have to agree the reply came off a bit condesending. People are at all different level of tech competency and that is no reason to make others feel badly. Most of the people on the board are kind and helpful but others.
    That's one thing I love about Major Geeks online they are always helpful and you can ask a "foolish" question and never made to feel badly by the people who are members and are just donating time to help others... it's really nice!
    I don't automatically update for a month I want to make sure all the bugs are out and find out if there are any problems. I have dyslexia and do not always have time to get through all the information. The new rules and regulations is pages and pages long. And trying to read it on my Iphone 4s was awful. I finally gave up and just agreed. I am not concerned about Youtube as I am losing Google maps. It's not like they put Mapquest in, which is what I always check after Google to see if there is a better way to get where I am going.
