Turn Off Automatic Text Wrap in Pages?

It's far from the biggest flaw in Pages, but is there any way of making "no text wrap" the default for inserted objects rather than "Automatic"? Due to the nature of the materials I produce I almost never want text wrap, yet every time I insert an object I have to make a trip to the Inspector, click the "Arrange" button, select the drop down menu and select "None". Surely there must be some way - a preference option I've missed - of obviating this time-wasting process.

Apple is not even supporting Pages 5 as it did, so good luck with that.
Pages 5.5.2 only works on Yosemite.
Pages '09 works on everything from Snow Leopard to Yosemite.
Then there is the little matter of functionality, Pages 5.5.2 is still missing over 100 features that are in Pages '09 and Apple keeps changing its file format. Try synching that, let alone even moving files, across even 2 versions of OS X let alone iOS 7 or PCs.
Wishin' 'n Prayin' hasn't got users very far with Pages 5, and it has been out now 16 months.

  • Turn off linking text boxes in Pages

    I find the linking text boxes annoying because I'm always fighting trying to STRETCH a box and Pages wants to add a linking floating text box.
    Does anyone know how to turn off this feature completely, so it never comes back on unless I want it to?
    For a while it was OFF, and then all of a sudden I'm back fighting the linking text box feature when trying to move my text box where I want it.
    Thanks for any suggestions or help!

    Pamela,
    No, I don't believe that you can disable Text Box Linking. Just keep your mouse pointer away from the Link Handles.

  • How do I turn off automatic formatting of JSP pages

    Whenever I drop a component into my JSP from the component pallete JDeveloper automatically formats some "seemingly" random part of the page. This is very annoying since I spent time formatting the code the way I like it and then it's just re-written.
    I really want to turn this option off since it makes the pages almost unreadable, especially if you have a small print margin set.
    Help????

    I answered my own question. What I found happening was that every time I pasted into my JSP page the code seemed to be reformatted. What really was happening was that the indentation was being adjusted and the line formatted to fit within the specified right margin.
    If you go to Preferences|Code Editor and check off 'Adjust Indentation When Pasting' and 'Reformat Code Block When Pasting' this behavior goes away and the document stay's pretty much intact. It seems to be a good idea to increase the right margin also.
    The only formatting that occurs now is for the line you pasted and any lines below the pasted line are moved up under the pasted line.
    This change at least minimizes modifications so that if multiple developers make changes any code merges are reasonable.

  • How do i turn off automatic texts when i miss a call?

    My iphone is sending out text messages to people when i miss a call from them. How do i turn this feature off? I din't turn it on in the first place either?!!? 

    Are you sure you increased the caller volume? This is only adjustable while in conversation. So, while you are calling you'll see a few icons on your screen and one of them is to adjust your caller volume.

  • 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.

  • 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
    Peter
    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?

    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 do I turn off Automatic Heading/Paragraph numbering?

    Hi guys,
    I am working on a document that has several different headings/paragraphs, each numbered 1,2,3 etc. They seem to have been automatically numbered so that if I delete one sub-paragrph, Pages knows this and re-numbers that section accordingly.
    I am trying to edit this document and insert new paragraphs/new sections. That part is easy, but when I try to renumber all the existing paragraphs so the edited document is in order, the automatic numbering just continues (ignoring my newly inserted paragraphs) and I can't even highlight some of the sub-paragraphs to change them. I just delete them by pressing backspace put it won't allow me to insert a corrected number in it's place.
    I've tried turning off 'Automatically detect lists' in Preferences, but it makes no difference.
    Please help! I just need my headings and sub-headings to be numbered in the order they appear on the page.

    In the Inspector palette you have on the T tab > Lists. Here you set which kind of list numbering you want. You also have special list styles in the style drawer. Have you used them?
    If you are doing a lot of shuffling of text it might be easier to select all text and apply Body style. Do this on a copy of the document so you have on doc if the disaster strike the one you are working on.
    Now do the shuffling of text and when you are done use list styles for those headings and paragraphs you want.
    You can download Pages User guide from the Help menu in Pages. Chapter 5 and 6 would be useful to read.

  • Installed itunes on another computer and need to turn off automatic update

    I have itunes on my desktop at home and it is set to manually update my songs on my ipod (I have more songs on my 80GB ipod video than on my desktop). I am now traveling with a laptop and just installed itunes on my laptop. itunes won't let you turn off the automatic update setting until you plug your ipod into your computer. I am afraid to plug my laptop into my computer because it will automatically update the music (wipe out all my music on my ipod). Can I somehow turn off automatic update (switch to manual) before I plug my ipod into my laptop? Also, I know there is software that allows you to move the music from the ipod to the laptop, but I don't want to move all that music to the laptop. I want to continue updating my ipod manually on my laptop. Please help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    If you set the iPod to be manually managed on one computer, that setting will follow the iPod to any other computer you connect it to. However, even if you don't have the iPod set that way, when you connect the iPod to a foreign library, you'll receive an message in iTunes when it recognizes the iPod that the iPod is synced with another library, and you can click 'Cancel' and still get to the iPod's Summary page to put it into manual mode, without it changing any content on the iPod. If it makes you feel better, you can also click Edit and go to Preferences, click the Syncing tab, and select the option to "Disable automatic syncing for iPods & iPhones" prior to connecting your iPod.
    Hope this is helpful

  • Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way".  I HATE this!

    Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to.  But NO!  Pages keeps changing the font size!  I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size!  I am getting SO FRUSTRATED!  I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter!  Can anyone help?

    The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
    You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
    Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".
