How to turn off automatic numbering in Pages

I recently had a problem getting rid of automatic numbering within Pages.
I keyed in a numbered heading (eg, "1. H1") and then hit return, when it gave me another numbered heading ("2. H2") on the next line, which I didn't want.
The easiest way to get round this is to hit the return key on the automatically numbered line (eg, "2. H2"), which removes the "2" and puts you to the start of the line. This seems to tell Pages that you don't want automatic numbering, at least for the time being. Perhaps until you key another numbered heading...
To turn off automatic numbering on an individual line you can press the "i" button at the top and select "None". That will remove the number.

The View menu does what it says:
Menu > View > Hide Invisibles

btw You turned it on when you hit command shift i, do it again and it turns it off.

    How to turn off automatic correction on text message?

    At this time I don't think there is a way to turn it off. the software will learn new words and shortcuts you use when typing as you go. To do this type in the word/phrase and then hit the x when the suggested word pops up or tap on the word to keep what you have. Then hit the space bar and type away, it should have added that word to its dictionary and if you type it again it shouldn't offer up a new word instead.

  • How to turn off automatic variable code suggest for a single page?

    Does anyone know how to turn off the code assist feature where CFBuilder tries to assist you by listing all the variables on the page?  I have a CFC with over 3000 lines and it causes CFBuilder to hang/freeze like you wouldn't believe.  I'd like to turn off this feature for large files (or at least see if I can tune the feature to be smarter about what variables it suggests).
    Does anyone know how to disable this feature on a specific template or turn this feature off altogether?  Note: I do want to keep the tag attribute suggestion if possible.

    Update: I tried using CFBuilder as a plugin for Eclipse (64 bit) and then followed the steps here: CFBuilder 2 Performance Problems on Windows 7 64-bit Solved » websolete.
    So far I have experienced noticeably faster response times. However, the program still hangs when trying to suggest variable names.  It would be great if there was a way just to disable that feature until Adobe fixes it.

  • How to turn-off automatically the wifi of time capsule

    Hello I have a new Time Capsule for fews weeks and I would like to turn off the wifi automatically during nigth.Is it possible ? How can I do that ?

    You are reading the normal sort of rubbish that flat earthers produce against every new technology.
    I don't want to start a new thread about this.. but wifi produces so little signal when it is transmitting that cosmic rays will far exceed your exposure.. so are you going to go and live in a cave??
    The signal from the TC when there is no actual data transfer is merely polling. It will do you no harm.. nor will full 100% transmission.. except in the flat earthers view.

  • How to turn off automatic photo sorting in camera roll?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there was a way to turn off the automatic sorting of pictures added to the camera roll? My problem is that I hardly take any pictures of my own using my ipad; instead I like to save funny pictures/memes, screen shots, fan art, etc I find on the internet. I have a ton of those kinds of pictures but the camera roll sorting feature makes it extremely hard to find pics that I JUST added because it sorts them by the date THEY WERE MADE. This is a huge problem because some of those memes are extremely old and I have no idea when they were made, so I end up having to search through hundreds of my pictures by month, years, etc just to find the one I recently added. Is there a way to turn this off so that the photos are just in the order of when YOU YOURSELF added them to your camera roll? For example, in the old version all of my newly added pics would be the very last picture at the bottom of the whole group.   
    I apologize if there is an easy fix to this problem, but I have not been able to locate one if there is.
    I have an iPad 2 and the newest version of ios 7 installed.
    Thanks

    One solution is to take a screen shot of the photo. That should make it last in line.
    Another solution. Make a new album. Transfer the photos to the new album. Then change the photo order, by tapping select, hold your finger on the photo, move it, tap done.

  • How can I turn off automatic hyperlinks in Pages for OSX Mavericks?

    Hi - I'm getting really bugged that Pages (5.2) in OSX Mavericks (10.9.2) keeps automatically making hyperlinks of any web address in a document, and even if I've edited the link to delete it, the link later reappears. I want to turn this off by default. I can't find a way to stop this and I'm getting very frustrated! Thanks!

    And, in a way, it's worse than that, as I'm coming to iWork as a new user with my first Mac, having not used 09, or any other version before. However, I'm also using M$ Office (2011), which is much much better on OSX than (2013) on Win7. Having said that, and to be fair to Apple, the experience of moving to a Mac from 21 years of DOS/Windoze use has, generally speaking, been an absolute revelation and has made PC use a pleasure again. Windoze 8 finally pushed me over the edge. A few weird menu placings is a small price to pay...

  • How to turn off automatic font changes  in pages

    When I move the cursor across the screen it often reduces the size of the fonts in the cells.  How can I stop it? 

    Thanks june
    I have no trackpad for my iMac and I left the delivered mouse in its box.
    Its size doesn't match my hand's one so after two hours of use, I suffer from cramps.
    I use my good old Wacom mouse with my good old Wacom tablet. I may work with it without cramps all day long.
    If I have some spare time, I will test with the gestures on the Apple mouse.

  • Xerox Color Qube 8570 - How to turn off startup configuration report page?

    Our printing at work sometimes will print off a Startup page and then continue to print lines on different pages of just symbols. This last print job reach up to 68 pages, which of course is a nightmare of wasteful paper. Does anyone know how to stop this from printing?

    In CWIS go to Properties > General > Printer Defaults and disable the Startup page  As for garbage prints, That sounds like a PS error. And they are almost always due to improperly embedded fonts. Have all your users switch the following in their drivers (Picture is the global driver, but the regular driver will have the same option.) Essentially by default the printer uses its own locally stored fonts on the jobs, but when the fonts are misunderstood, or unknown it winds up printing wingdings.  

  • How to turn off automatic keyframing in motion 5.0.2?

    Hello,
    I've just updated to Motion 5.0.2 and now, everytime I move an object, all the parameters (scale, position, rotation) start to create keyframes, while most of the time I don't want that (that's why you turn on the recorder, right?). Is there a way to turn that off again? It's very frustrating.
    Kind regards, Pepijn

    that's very interesting...
    why do you need a single keyframe and have the object NOT do anything else in the play range?
    In my copy of M5 .2, if I set a position keyframe, the only keys automatically created are positions. For scaling, I had to manually add a scaling key to start recording scales.  Automatic keyframing does not fire keys for position, scale, rotation, etc., unless I start one.
    However, they will automatically keep recording while playing the timeline (just as if Record is enabled). According to the manual:
    Choose Mark > Recording Options.
    Select “Don’t Record keyframes during playback.”
    And motion will not record changes while the project is playing.
    Also, it is still possible to move the entire keyframe/motion path. Command-option click anywhere on the path and you can drag it around. You can drag around only segments of the path by simply clicking on the path between two keyframes and reposition it. Etc... (it's all in the manual.)
    If I switch over and use the "Record Method", then the "Initial Keyframe" method is not used.
    And, if you just need to start over without keyframes, there's the Transform reset button which clears all keyframes in a click.
    It all seems very cool to me.
