How do I turn off "Smart Cut and paste" in InDesign?

Hi,
A programmer told me, that ID has a function called "smart cut and paste":
smart cut and paste boolean -- If true, automatically adjusts spacing among words and between words and punctuation marks when cutting and pasting text.
http://www.mugginsoft.com/html/kosmictask/ASDictionaryDocs/Adobe/InDesign/OS-X-10.7/InDesi gn-CS5/html/html/FULL/classes/text_editing_preference.html
Unfortunately, it shows some weird text exchange behaviour when copying and pasting text.
My web and my forum search showed no results.
So: How can it be turned off?
Thanks for your help!
Mathais

Thank you very much!
In the German version of InDesign's GUI it is called "Beim Ausschneiden und Einfügen von Wörtern Abstand automatisch anpassen".

I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

Hi j2399123,
It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
And for screen recording specifically, there's
QuickTime Player 10.x: Record your computer’s screen

Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

Thank you for all of your answer.

I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

HT201150 How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?

How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
Thanks!

Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button

[solved] How do I turn off SMART warnings in Gnome?

I run the smartd daemon for the 8 hard drives in my server. One drive has about 90 bad sectors so it will most likely fail soon. But I can't return it unless it hits 100. Anyway, in Gnome, I keep getting warnings in that notification section in the bottom that the drive is failing and it's annoying me to no end. How can I turn off these warnings? Smartd mails me every detail anyway, I really don't need these constant warnings in my desktop environment as well.

I'm not entirely sure if i got your setup right, but you could try to disable parts of the gnome-settings-daemon via dconf. Have a look at org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins, especially at "householding". Either try a higher value for "min-notify-period":
Specify a time in minutes. Subsequent warnings for a volume will not appear more often than this period.
Or uncheck "active" for a more radical solution.

Italics and boldface not preserved in cut-and-paste from InDesign CS3

This is using Mac InDesign CS3 5.0.1 and Mac Dreamweaver CS3
9.0.
When cuting-and-pasting text from InDesign CS3 to Dreamweaver
CS3, basic text formatting such as italics and boldface are not
preserved for me. When I select Edit, Paste Special in Dreamweaver,
the "Text with structure plus basic formatting (bold, italic)" is
not selectable when the clipboard holds InDesign-origin text.
If I paste the same InDesign text into Word, the formatting
is preserved and if I then cut-and-paste from Word into
Dreamweaver, boldface and italics are preserved. But I don't want
to cut-and-paste everything twice!
Do others experience this too?

Apparently it is an issue with Leopard (and Illustrator)
Workarounds:
1) Export from InDesign as eps or PDF, or
2) Copy paste into Photoshop as a Smartobject, and then double click the layer to edit smart object (it will open in Illustrator)
I know, it's a pain.

Pages: how do I turn off auto formatting and auto indenting!

I've got Pages 5.2.2 and for the life of me can't figure out how to turn off auto formatting!
When I hit return to move text to a new line, Pages automatically indents the new line, creating a new paragraph which is not what I want at all.
I'm using a blank template and have not altered the default settings at all. Any geniuses out there who can help?

If not already present, turn on your document rulers via View > Show Rulers. Does a ¯ symbol appear by itself, or is it accompanied by an inverted triangle below it? The first symbol indicates that you have a First Indent set to other than 0. The inverted triangle says that you also have the Left indent set to the First indent amount.
In Pages, if a First indent is set, any hard return will invoke a new paragraph with an auto-indent corresponding to the First Indent amount. First lines will be indented, and subsequent lines are flush left margin (unless Left indent is not 0). In word processing, we only do hard returns when we deliberately want a new paragraph. If you want to force an end of a sentence, without forming a new paragraph, with/out auto-indent effect, use either shift+enter, or control+enter.
The First, and Left indent settings in Pages v5.2.2 are here:
Toolbar > Format > Text > Layout

How do i turn off automatic download and make it stay off

I use the preferences in ITUNES to turn off automatic down loads and every time i start iTunes it tries to force me to sign to an ICLOUD account and automatic download. I have tried everything I can find on apple help sites. But you Apple carefully stays away from the subject of how to make it stay off. I have 10.9.4 system
and 11-3 (54) iTunes.

How do I turn off my iPhone and Mac receiving my text messages?

I do NOT want my text messages to scroll on my Mac computer screen I want my iPhone separate from my computer. How do I turn it off.

Hi,
On the Mac > Messages > Preference > Accounts > iMessages account is the iPhone Number list as a "Receive At" item ?
Is that Number ticked ? (if it is you will still receive iMessages that are to the iPhone Number).
Do these things.
On the Mac have Finder Window open and use th Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to the Preferences folder
Find the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist item and drag it to the Trash.
Restart Messages.
You may have to re-enter the Apple ID.
The other Receive At items should also be removed.
On the iPhone > Settings > Messages make sure the Apple ID is removed (not only as an Unticked "Send and Receive item) but removed as the linked ID.
The place the iPhone in Airplane mode for a few mins.
On coming out of Airplane Mode go to the Messages setting again and check the iPhone Number verifies.
It should now be the only listed Send and Receive item on the iPhone (It is normal that it is greyed out and ticked and that you cannot change it)

How do you turn off the speaker and only use earphones to hear music written in software?

I have software with which I write music. I would like to listen to the piano part produced by the computer while recording the voice part. To do this, I must turn of the computer's speaker and hear the piano part only through ear phones. How can I do this?

Not sure what you're talking about. The MacPro doesn't have any built in camera as far as I know. If you've got a monitor with a built in camera, there's probably a way to disconnect it.

How can I turn OFF Google instant ,and remove the Magnifying glass Hinderance

Firefox recently asked me to upgrade from 3.6.13 to 3.6.15 stating that 3.6.15 was more stable and addressed certain security issues. When doing a web search with Google through Firefox 3.6.13 I had the option (on the right hand side of the page) to either enable or DISABLE Google instant search which I rapidly did. Unfortunately in F-F 3.6.15 even though I select Instant search and [preview of webpage] to be OFF it seems to switch itself back on again.It only allows me to search one page Then Fades Out page 2 onwards and then Siezes up entirely. So am constantly having to switch Firefox off then start it up again before performing a new search. Please help me to permanently Disable Google Instant search and Preview of Webpage.

Try to clear the Google cookies and redo those Google options.
