Turn OFF TextEdit auto-formatting?

I absolutely detest auto-formatting, especially bullet list items.
Anyone know how to turn this "feature" off?

Oh cool, it appears that by copying and pasting from another doc/email TextEdit assimilated technologies from the other document's application.
Resistance is futile.

  • 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".

  • How do I turn off text auto-formatting in Keynote?

    How do I turn off text auto-formatting in Keynote?

    You may uncheck some preferences in the Pages > Preferences menu item.
    You may also define your own custom default template.
    But you certainly are aware of that because it's described in the PDF User Guide delivered with every copy of iWork.

  • Turning off iWeb Auto-Formatting

    When ever I paste some text into an iWeb text field all the formatting (Text size, font, color, bold, ect) is lost. I was wondering if there was a way to turn off the feature that automatically applies the text style and formatting when I paste in text.
    Thanks.

    The surest method of preserving all formatting is to print your document to PDF and then drop the PDF file into iWeb. You can then resize the PDF image and mask it off, etc. But you lose the ability to change the background colors, etc. You also lose the ability to edit your text. And you also end up with an image on your page, where text might have been faster loading.
    The way I see it, everything's got pros and cons. If I were faced with your situation, I'd probably go ahead and preserve the editability and lightweight nature of the text and redo all the formatting within iWeb. I like the idea of upfront investment for long-term gain.

  • How do I turn off the auto-formatting?

    Pages keep re-arranging my text into various indent formats that I neither want nor can easily undo. It is failing miserably at anticipating my spacing needs, and I can't figure out how to shut that feature off. I've tried the setting the Inspector settings at zero and unchecking the boxes, but it's still moving my text lines to places where I don't want them

    You can but only in TextEdit and Preview and only if you have access to a Snow Leopard installation. Check out the link near the end of this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3745201?start=0&tstart=0 and then proceed at your own risk.

  • How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

    How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
    I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
    If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to  turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

    As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
    You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
    you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.

  • How do you turn off the auto grid?

    How do you turn off the auto grid? I read in a forum that the solution is "View- show- turn off grid". But the weird thing is I had to have that website open to even get the alternative up under "View". If I didn´t, there were other alternatives there. Why?
    The second problem is, when I finally got the "Turn off auto grid" alternative up, it will not be unchecked…. I´m working on a mac.
    Thank you in advance!

  • How does one turn off link auto-update?

    When we have an ID file open in CS6 and make a Photoshop edit, the link seems to auto-update. We don't like this as we'd rather 'watch' the update so if comes in as expected, etc.. Can one turn off link auto-update? Thanks!

    Are you making the edit by selecting the graphic frame and then choosing Edit Original? This will always auto-update.
    If that's not it, you might try clicking Preferences > General > Reset All Warning Dialogs

  • In Safari 5.0.6 how do I turn off the auto save to contact list of addresses I send mail to?t

    How do I turn off the auto saving to my contact list of every e-mail address I send a note to?

    It might help knowing that Apple uses the term "Versions" instead of AutoSave. I have not yet found how to turn it off, but in the meantime, here's how to delete "Previous Versions":
    Do one of the following:
    If you have unsaved changes in a document, choose File > Revert To, and then click Previous Save.
    Hold the pointer to the right of the document title, click the downward-facing arrow, and then choose Browse All Versions from the pop-up menu.
    Click a gray tick mark along the timeline on the right to display various versions of your document.
    Do one of the following:
    To restore your document to the state of a particular version, display that version, and then click Restore.
    To delete the displayed older version, hold the pointer to the right of its title, click the downward-facing arrow, and then choose Delete This Version. To delete all older versions, press the Option key while holding the pointer to the right of the older version’s title, click the arrow, and then choose Delete Old Versions.
    To create a new untitled document that duplicates a particular version, display the version, press the Option key, and then click “Restore a Copy.”
    To leave your document in its current state, click Done.

  • How to turn off email auto forward?

    I have a 3G iphone and it's set up to retrieve email from my gmail account. I don't know how, but it has started trying to auto-forward my email to another account (my work blackberry). The emails don't go through so I keep getting a failure to send message for each email I have been receiving. I looked in settings and I don't see anything set up to forward email, I'm not sure how it started in the first place. How can I turn off the auto-forwarding?

    The forwarding would not be on your iPhone but on your GMail account. Using a browser, go into your Gmail settings and look at one of the top tabs that says "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" Turn off forwarding there.

  • How do i turn off the auto delete when played feature in new update?

    how do I turn off the auto delete after playing an item in latest update?

    After the disaster of iTunes 11.1 that deleted nearly all my archived podcasts (recovered from backup thankfullly) I was shocked, but not altogether surprised, to see that the option to delete played episodes has been enabled/re-enabled by default.
    From the lower right of the Podcasts window click Settings then, if needed, click Defaults, then turn Delete Played Episodes to Off.
    Why set the destructive option as the default?
    I have many episodes that I want to keep that are no longer available at their feed so the last thing I want is any automatic delete process to be enabled.

  • How do i turn off the auto lock feature?  In my options it does not have "never" on it.  It is only timed amounts.

    How do I turn off the auto lock feature.  I have only timed options.  There is not the "never" option available.

    I've got options for 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes and Never. Have you got an Exchange email account on your iPad ? 'Never' can be removed so as to protect a company's potentially sensitive email - they may not want the iPad being left/stolen with the emails on it accessible. If you remove the account the Never option will probably reappear

  • How do I turn off the auto-locator?

    I can no longer get to Yahoo.com which now always defaults to Yahoo.de, the German Yahoo. When I change it to the American one it immediately goes back to the German. I am American but live in Germany. I thought if I turned off the auto-locater I might be able to access Yahoo.com again so want to try it. How do I turn it off?

    Hi,
    I don't think Private Browsing is the issue, rather the locator and when I click on the link you provide I get an error message like this:
