Turning off Keep Options in InDesign CS5

I'm having a real nightmare with Keep Option in ID CS5.
I was hoping I could use them to stop orphans but they seem to create them unnecessarily.
I turned on some Keep Options in my style sheet for my body text and I couldn't get them to work the way I wanted.
Now I just want to turn all the Keep Options off and have the text flow normally - when it reaches the end of the text frame to go to the next regardless of where it is in the paragraph.
So I have all the Keep Options turned off in the Paragraph Style Sheet and the lines are still breaking too early.
Is this a bug?

Hello Jongware, I take your point that the Keep Options in the Paragraph Styles is pretty self explanatory and I have to admit to causing some of the confusion myself.
But to prevent widows and orphans selecting "Keep Lines Together", then filling in 2 in the "At Start/End of paragraph" Start and End lines, unfortunately breaks 3 or 4 line paragraphs at the beginning of pages.
(I read somewhere that widows are at the top of pages/columns; orphans at the bottom).
Also I find the Keep Options dialogue box from the Paragraph palette rather confusing:
The "Keep with Previous" with a check box followed by an indented "Keep with Next" just throws me!
But thanks to you and everyone else, I pretty much get it now.

  • Can i turn off the option that enables iOS 8 to connect to my apple tv without using wifi?

    I am a schoolteacher and our school uses Apple-tv to project lesson contents. We have separated the students wifi network from the teachers wifi network, so our students won't be able to use the apple-tv's and disrupt our lessons.
    Since the introduction of ios8, the separated wifinetwork doesn't do the trick anymore. Students can now use every Appltv in their vicinity to project whatever image they want. This is a problem.
    Can we turn off the option that enables IOS8 to connect to apple-tv without using the wifi network?
    Thanks in advance.

    Unless buffering a rental/prior purchase to watch it should not consume significant bandwidth when connected.
    Power wise it uses 6W at most.
    You can't power off from the remote but you can set it to sleep -
    Press and hold Select for five seconds (or go to Settings > Sleep Now on Apple TV (2nd generation), or Settings > Standby on Apple TV (1st generation)

    my notebook is dv6-1235
    is it wrong to turn off the option ( fan always on ) from the bios..... because iam afraid that it will hurt the cpu or the graphic card as they become so hot somtimes ....

    you can turn the setting off...there is still a failsafe to kick the fan on if the system gets way too hot

  • How do I turn off Spaces options?

    With Spaces I had the erminal application appear on each space. Now that spaces has gone and we use the swiping thing my terminal app appears on each page. The problem is it's *always* brought to the front even if it wasn't actively being used on another page.
    Since spaces has gone, how do I turn off the option to have it on each page?
    Thanks
    Andy

    I couldn't deselect it but I could switch it to none which ended up working for me.
    Thanks

  • Turning off "snap" option in Logic 8?

    I'm brand new to Logic, making the switch over from Audition, which was the sole purpose that I owned a PC for the past 3 years in addition to my mac.
    I'm still trying to get a feel for it. I was wondering...is there any way to completely turn off the snapping option, so I can move my audio files freely?
    Thank you much!!

  • How do I turn off notification tone in SoundBooth CS5

    Each time I return focus to the Soundbooth screen a very loud chord sounds, apparently built in to the program.  It makes it very annoying to work with since it is blasting loud in the earphones.
    Is this some kind of error tone I'm getting or something that can be disabled?

    When trying to rotate something the object tries to align with every single available element who InDesign conciders could be interesting aligning with. THATS NOT HOW WE PROS DO IT!!! We hold SHIFT when rotating stuff, and if we want to rotate stuff outside the 45° scope we use the input palette so we get exact figures.
    And why (again) would InDesign have anything to do where I put my elements, let me put them where I want please dont bother. No InDesign is kind of wild here since it's trying to aligns stuff even if I disable snapping and all such stuff. It's like Gollum, "Myyy precious alignement, let me heeelp you with that"...
    Turn off smart guides, View > Grids & Guides > Smart Guides or Cmd / Ctrl + U, or....  learn how to use them and make your layout faster instead of blindly continuing to do it "THE WAY WE PROS DO"!!!!

    Why o why is everything so slow again? Even on a brand new i7 MBP the projects become incredibly slow when adding some stuff, if I open the same project in CS4 everything is blazin again. This especially occurs when running stuff from a network location, which by the way is a VERY common wey to work in the advertizing agency world.
    For general speed issues in CS5 you could try turning off live screen display (Edit > Preferences > Interface > Option > Live Screen Drawing > Delayed), turning off live preflight and keeping the pages and links panels closed when you're not using them.

  • How to turn off frame edge highlighting in CS5?

    Has anyone discovered how to turn off the frame edge highlighting on rollovers. I find this feature visually distracting and quite annoying as I'm moving around a page. Send advice, please. Thx.

    Chief:
      Sorry we got off track and didn't post the main workaround for Frame Edge Highlighting: Keep your hand on the spacebar.
    This comes from  Mike Rankin in the InDesign Magazine Tip of the Week in January:
    TIP: Spring-Loaded Tools to the Rescue
    InDesign  tries very hard to help you align objects when you drag by snapping  them Do you dislike the Frame Edge Highlighting that appears when you  mouse over frames in CS5? Spring-loaded tools can help. Frame edge  highlighting only appears when you use one of the selection tools. With  spring-loaded tools, you can press and hold single keys to temporarily  switch to any other tool. As long as you hold the key for more than a  second, you'll switch back to your previous tool when you release the  key. You have plenty of choices (t, \, p, f, m, n, c, e, g, z, etc).
    Holding  the spacebar also prevents the highlighting from appearing, and it's a  nice big place for your fingers to rest. Heck, you don't even have to  pay much attention to where you press--just rest your hand in the middle  of the keyboard and lift it up when you want to select something. But  don't hold v or a, which are the shortcuts for the selection tools.
    - Mike Rankin
    (Mike had suggests this several times in the past year,  though not with the spacebar. E.g. he recommended 'H' back in June over  on
    InDesignSecrets. "H" for Hate).
    There have been several threads on this, including the locked 201-post monster, Frame edge highlighting, and the feature request Allow Frame Edge Highlighting to be turned off, and frame edge highlights on hover.
    Basically  the takeaway is that it only happens with the selection (V) and direct  selection (A) tools, and that multiple people have asked Adobe for a  control to turn it off, and they've finally added one, but only in CS5.5, not in a CS5 maintenance release.

    Does anyone know how I can turn off the descriptive cursor when I move objects around in illustrator? - (see bottom screencap) I know there must be a place but can't find it . . . . I am new to this version.
    I am on a Mac OS X - 10.6.8 - and running CS5.5 - Standard . . . . the product is working very well. I just want to turn this off. . . .
    Thanks! : )

    Can't see the image at the moment because of maintenance. Maybe it's the smart guides (View > Smart guides)

  • PDF files turns white after exporting from InDesign CS5

    Hi all
    When I export PDF files fom inDesign CS5 they turn out all white when I open them in Acrobat Reader (I´ve tried both in version 9 and the latest version). When I first open the PDF it seems to be ok but as soon as I zoom out it turns white. Anyone have a clue or have experienced the same issues?
    Thanks a lot
    /warpig

    Is this something you can share? Put the PDF on a server someplace and post a link here, if you can. If you don't have your own server, you can use a service like YouSendIt.com.
    What settings are you using for the export? What happens in ID if you go to Preview mode?

  • SPA122 - How to turn off "DHCP Option To Use" in the Provisioning tab using the XML configuration file?

    As default, SPA122 and SPA112 have DHCP Options 66, 160, 159 and 150 turned on.
    Our pre-provisioning process includes adding our default profile rule to our provisioning server for the device to pull its configuration files once the device has been added to an account.
    However, it seems like some customers have had problems with the device downloading the definite configuration file and manually turning off option Option 66 in the provisioning tab in the device solves this issue.
    Is there any option we could add to our pre-provisioning file so that it removes 66 from the "DHCP Option to Use" field in the provisioning tab?
    Please advise...

    Thanks Dan,
    I didn't know the dhcp server could serve different options to different classes of clients, I'll have to look that up!
    Moises
    so if your provisioning file has this line below (this is from a spa5xx config I had in my temp folder, so use the line from your provisioning file, or use the SPC tool to create a new default config for that device type)
    <DH<DHCP_Option_To_Use group="Provisioning/Configuration_Profile">66,160,159,150,60,43,125</DHCP_Option_To_Use>
    change it to
    <DH<DHCP_Option_To_Use group="Provisioning/Configuration_Profile">160,159,150,60,43,125</DHCP_Option_To_Use>
    Hope it helps,

  • Turn off the option for users whether to sync mobile or network accounts?

    Hi i have 40 users using mobile accounts, with no hassle for the last year as they were tied to the same machines. but this year they have to have the need to use which ever machine is available. The problem then is it keeps asking them whether to sync to mobile account or network account. They should only have a mobile account so i'm not really sure why its asking me? is there a way of turning off their network accounts or just forcing it to only sync mobile account? so confused... (just to clarify i don't want any of their accounts running off the server itself, i just want it to sync back to the server on login and log off which ever machine they are on. I'm just a little worried as i seem to remember someone choosing sync network account and it got rid of all their documents and files.

    The problem was an error in naming the computer group. Renaming it solved the problem.

  • How do i turn off automatic plugin check on startup... I have turned off in options/advanced, but still checks on startup

    on firefox startup I get two tabs... one for google (my home page) the other for plugin check. I go to tools/advanced and turn off startup check for plugins, the restart firefox... the plugin check tabe still appears. All of my plugins are up to date!!! How do I stop this auto plugin check from taking place each time I start up firefox? This never was a problem before, just started yesterday and I can't stop it.

    I started using Fire Fox to get away from this crap. I consider this forced plug in thing to be a tracking Trojan and pop up adds. It's my opinion this has become no different than I.E. or any other Micro Soft application where I loose control of how I manage my own computer applications by having things forced on me that I necessarily don't want. I plan to quit using Fire Fox until I am assured this doesn't happen any more and and feel confident my browsing and other web activity is not being monitored and tracked by Mozilla. What other data and applications can we assume they are looking at on our computers? I think if this is the direction they are now headed, other folks should do the same thing.

  • Disable cut option in Indesign CS5.5

    Hi,
    I want to disable CUT option in indesign once document is opened. I have added ActionFilter.cpp in my project and added following code in "FilterAction" function,
    IDocument* myDoc = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();
        if (myDoc)
           switch(actionID->Get())
                   CAlert::WarningAlert("1");
                case kCutActionID:
                case kCopyActionID:
                case kPasteActionID:
                   CAlert::WarningAlert("2");
                    *componentClass = kSampleActionComponentBoss;
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
    But it is failed to disable CUT menu. and even warning alert "1" is not displayed. Am I missing anything in this? please let me know.
