Overwrite/Disable "auto-style"

I am trying to change the style# of some text to match other text on the page. 
When I attempt to change the style format from a specific style to "normal", it will not change.  The same style number comes back.
Is there a way to disable this?

You could possibly do this in a script. Ask in the scripting forum or search the notorious sites liek AEnhancers and AEScripts for something suitable....

  • Auto Style Overriding CSS

    I have a few situations where RoboHelp HTML 9 (9.0.0.228) is cluttering up my HTML by auto adding style statements to HTML tags that override the instructions from the CSS file.  I am only irritated when it rewrites the following because the auto style is simply a duplicated instruction.
    <strong> to <strong style="font-weight: bold;">
    But when it add inline style statements to link tags it becomes unusable because it overrides my CSS instructions.
    <a> to <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline; ">
    Am I causing this to happen somehow? Is there a setting in RoboHelp where I can turn off theserewrites?

    Hi William!
    I ashamed to say that I didn't know about the '!important' declaration for CSS.    I applied !important to my links <a> and they all work now, even when RH tries to overwrite my CSS work.
    Your solution has reduced my situation from unusable to merely irritating. 
    Thank you! 

  • How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

    Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
    It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
    I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

    Anyone got any ideas?

  • How can I disable auto-switching desktops?

    I've long appreciated the spaces/mission control feature of OS X. However, it seems more oriented to organizing desktops by application rather than by project.
    Like many users, I suspect, I use different desktops for different projects, each of which requires a variety of applications (finder, word docs, spreadsheets, etc). When I'm working on project 1 in desktop 1, I never want to be whisked away to desktop 2. In fact, I never want to be switched to a different desktop automatically. If I click on an application, I want it to open a new window for that application. If a new iteration of an app can't be opened (ie, Mail), I'd like it to pull Mail to me rather than send me off to it. Aren't apps supposed to come when we call, not the other way around?
    I have unchecked "...switch to a space with open windows of that application" in System Prefences, but my desktop continues to auto-switch, especially with Finder.
    In short: is there a way disable auto-switching entirely? I'd like to be able to assign windows and navigate manually without being constantly pulled away from the project I'm working on.
    Thanks for the help; I really appreciate people spending their time helping others on forums like this one.

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode.  Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Disable auto-updates/Adobe Application Manager

    there is no forum for this - I use Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 non-CC on macbook pro running 10.8.5 or 10.9.2. I would like to not have AAM search for updates in the background, but initiate the **search** for updates manually. The reason is that I live a bit off the grid and pay quite a lot per minute, and AAM kept the internet connection open the whole night, even though the browser said it was closed.
    I only found instructions for CS5:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-auto-updates-application-manager.html
    does this work for CS6 the same way? I am by no means a system admin but I can replace this AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat file. (and keep the original else where)
    thanks.
    edit: why on earth does adobe insist on displaying my real name in a public forum, when it even asks me to make a screen name first. There is no forum for this either, I guess.

    ... adobe insist on displaying my real name in a public forum...
    that is gone, thanks.

  • Disabling auto-update doesn't work

    I need to stop at Firefox 14 for now, and need to prevent auto-updates.
    In Firefox 14.0.1 when I disable auto-update by setting 'never check for updates', and/or use about:config to clear 'app.update.url', both settings are ignored. When I close and re-open Firefox, auto-update is again enabled, and the update URL is again set.
    Recommendations?

    As it turns out, it's not a matter of 'preferences not being saved'.
    It's Firefox spontaneously changing my preferences at start-time.
    I've been testing; here's what i discover.
    1. I install FF14, start it the first time, and disable auto-update (via Tools/Options/Advanced)
    At this point - prefs.js in my profile now starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    2. now I exit FF.
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    3. i restart FF (#1)
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    4. i close FF
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    5. I restart FF (#2)
    NOW prefs.js has dropped those 2 initial lines, and starts with user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-........etc
    Firefox is spontaneously changing my prefs.js.
    Before this series of tests I adjusted the prefs.js in all other profiles in this XPSP3 machine to start with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    This is obnoxious.
    I expect better from Mozilla.
    Suggestions?

  • How to disable auto clear feature in a text box in IE10

    How to disable auto clear button in Text box in IE10
    Hi Team,
    I saw this question on Microsoft forum but I did not find any reply to this question, therefore, I am re-posting it.
    When I run web interface application on IE10, i see there is a new feature which has 'X' at the end of text box and on clicking it it clears the text.
    Are there any settings of IE10 that can be changed to disable it or some code snippet?
    I find the 'X' sign at the end of text box very annoying and would like to turn it off and make it compatible with older versions of IE and other explorers.
    Looking forward to your answer at the earliest.
    Regards

  • Can I disable auto-sync on Shuffel iTunes 7.3 Vista OS

    It seems odd that everytime I make a change to a single song on my iPod, iTunes performs a sync.
    For example, I want to uncheck several songs loaded on my shuffel, but iTunes performs a sync after each time I de-select a check-box.
    Can I disable automatic syncing after each change to a song or podcast on my shuffel?
    Thanks

  • Disable Auto Orientation only in a specific frame!

    Hi there! 
    I appreciate if you please guide me with your experience in Mobile App design.
    My App contains 5 frames of data (movieclips), that each frame has 2 designs:
    1- Stand mode design    (portrait)
    2- Wide mode design     (landscape)
    So far it works great and I have published my App both on Google Play and Apple Store.
    Frames structure is as follows:
    frame   1            Loads External Data
    frames 2-6         Each frame contains 1 MovieClip designed based on mobile "Stand mode"
    frames 22-26     Each frame contains 1 MovieClip designed based on mobile "Wide mode"
    (Example: contents of frame 2 and 22 are the same, also 3 & 23 ... 6 & 26)
    (frame 2 is STAND design, 22 is WIDE design, and so on)
    In "Air Setting Dialoge", I have selected aspect ratio "Auto" and "Auto orientation".
    And I have this code in Frame 1 to do the rotation trick:
    stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeLayout);
    function resizeLayout(e:Event):void
                   setPosition();
    function setPosition():void
            //Phone turned from "Wide" to "Stand"
                   if (stage.stageWidth < stage.stageHeight)
                                  //App is now in "Wide" mode - means between frame 22 to 26
                                  if (currentFrame>20) 
                                                 //go to the same position of App but in "Stand" mode
                                                 gotoAndStop(currentFrame - 20);
                   else
                                  //Phone turned from "Stand" to "Wide"
                                  if (currentFrame<20)
                        //go to the same position of App but in "Wide" mode 
                         gotoAndStop(currentFrame + 20);
    Well, and finally my question:
    1- Is this way I have programed my App to rotate, a proper approach?!
          (in this way I can easily arrange objects on screen and also position them based on math calculations)
    2- If I want to disable auto rotation only when app reaches specific frames, what should I do??
       (for example I want the app Not to auto oriente in Frame 6 and 26., but it rotates in other frames)
    Hope it was not confusing and I cant wait to check out your valuable guidance!
    All the best and thanks a lot for your time.

    Hi there all!!
    Still I have no answer for my question No1, BUT I could find my answer to the 2nd question and here it is for your kind notice:
    Special thanks to Daniel Dura
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/screen_orientation_apis.html
    I just added this code to my first Frame:
    stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING, onOrientationChanging);
    function onOrientationChanging(event:StageOrientationEvent ):void
              if (currentFrame == 6 || currentFrame == 26)
                        event.preventDefault();

  • How do I disable auto select for the path selection tool?

    For the move tool you can choose to disable auto selection, auto select a group, or auto select a layer. By default though the path selection tool autoselects a layer. How can I disable autoselection?

    I can’t seem to reproduce what you describe.
    Please elaborate, possibly with the help of some screenshots.

  • [SOLVED] Alsa: How to disable auto-mute when plugging in headphones?

    I have a set of headphones plugged into my workstation permanently (the headphone jack is hard to reach so I don't want to plug those headphones in and out) as well as some speakers. Jack sensing works perfectly - when I unplug the headphones, the speakers are unmuted and when I plug the headphones back in the speakers are muted. Now as I said, my headphones are plugged in permanently and occasionally I want to have sound on the speakers at the same time. So far I have not found a way to have both headphones and speakers unmuted simultaneously.
    I originally thought this was a problem with Pulseaudio (I am using Cinnamon as my desktop) but when I directly go to the Alsa hw device I get exactly the same behavior. The sound chip is a built-in VIA VT1818S and aplay displays the correct cards and devices:
    $ aplay -l
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: VT1818S Analog [VT1818S Analog]
    Subdevices: 1/1

    card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: VT1818S Digital [VT1818S Digital]
    Subdevices: 1/1

    card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    I verified with "mpg123 -a hw:0,0" that I get no sound on the speakers when the headphones are plugged in and vice versa. I tried a lot of different settings with alsamixer and amixer to no avail. These are my current settings:

    If I read the Alsa kernel docs right, the VIA driver simply does not provide any option to disable auto-muting: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-ker … xt;hb=HEAD.
    I would be glad if I had misread/misunderstood something or there were any other means of achieving what I am after? All I found so far is lots of posts where auto-muting did not work but very few people seem to want the opposite. FWIW, my old installation of Ubuntu 11.10 was working fine in that regard, i.e. it probably did not support auto-muting for my hardware.

    Solved, well, good enough for me anyway. In alsamixer, I enabled "Independent HP". Independent HP means that two of the six surround channels get diverted to the headphones. Alsa creates a second device, one for line out and the other one for the headphones. It is a very neat feature that is meant to allow you to e.g. do a voice call with your headphones while you play music through the speakers at the same time. I can now choose in PulseAudio whether I want output to my headphones or the speakers. It required that in /etc/pulse/default.pa, I added the line "load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,2" after this paragraph:
    ### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available
    .ifexists module-udev-detect.so
    load-module module-udev-detect
    .else
    ### Use the static hardware detection module (for systems that lack udev support)
    load-module module-detect
    .endif
    # Take Independent HP into use.
    load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,2
    All this really is a work-around for two bugs:
    Call it a bug or a missing feature, but it does not look like the Alsa snd_hda_codec_via driver allows to disable auto-muting.
    Before the change to default.pa, PulseAudio already allows me to switch between two output devices - "analog output" and "analog headphones". "Analog headphones" however does the same thing as "analog output" and plays sound on the external speakers and not the headphones. I suspect that the PulseAudio module-udev-detect detects both Alsa devices but wires them wrongly.
    The above still doesn't give me what I originally asked, i.e. sound on both speakers and headphones at the same time, but I realized that I don't really need that. I just need a way to switch on speakers occasionally while my headphones are plugged in.

  • Is there a way to disable auto advance permanently?

    Is there a way to disable auto advance permanently?
    I know how to disable auto advance by clicking photo tab and unchecking auto advance, however I would like to have this feature permanently disabled. It really messes up my workflow!
    It’s getting very frustrating to have to remind myself with each project to disable the function prior to commencing work. Any suggestions?
    Thank you,

    The auto advance setting should be remembered between Lightroom sessions.  It does on my system  Lr5.5 OSX 10.8.5.   The shortcut for autoadvance is CapLock and if you have the CapLock key turned on when you open Lr it will turn auto advance on.  Turn CapLock off and make sure auto advance is off in the menu and then exit and reload Lr.  It should then be off.  If this doesn't work I would delete the Preferences file and rebuild it.  Maybe something is stuck.  I think READING the CapLock key on startup instead of reading the Preferences on startup is a bad design or maybe this is a random glitch/bug.  Don't leave my CapLock on so my testing was minimal.  Hopefully someone else will chime in.
