Typing an asterisk in macmail causes a return, or shift to next line.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 - since then, when using Macmail, every t ime I type and asterisk (') the cursor jumps to the next line. Anybody know a fix?

I'm not having that problem but there was a previous discussion where several people reported that turning off smart quotes resolved the issue for them. That setting is in Apple menu > System Preferences > Keyboard > Text
An asterisk is * and an apostrophe is '

  • In messages, does the return key always 'send' rather than shift to next line/paragraph?

    How may I configure my keyboard or its function so that in 'Messages" pressing the "return" key does not send the message , but moves to the next line.?
    I've looked at preferences etc. but cant seeem to locate an option for the "return" key

    Hey skyshade13,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.

  • The curser includes a text box from a previous image or link when the curser is positioned on the side of the page. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. how do i get rid of this?

    the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

    A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

  • Command+Return and Shift+Return keyboard shortcuts stopped working

    I'm using Firefox 4.0 on a 21.5" iMac running Mac OS X version 10.6.7. Just this morning, the command+return and shift+return keyboard shortcuts to auto-complete the .com and .net addresses of websites stopped working. Command+w still closes a tab, and command+left click still opens a tab in a new window. However, when I type anything in the address bar ("mac" for example) and then hit command+enter, Firefox opens up a new tab with a Google search for the word I typed. The address for this new tab is as follows:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=mac&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
    Any idea what gives? I'm rather perplexed and frustrated.

    Just removed OmniBar and the problem went away.

  • Moving words in paragraph causes other words to shift

    When I use a soft return to move a word to the next line in a paragraph, it causes other words in the paragraph to shift as well. In Quark, when I do the same, it only affects the one word I want to move. I would like to be able to move only one word without affecting others. Is there a way to do this?

    Another option is to use a nonbreaking space between words (Option+Command+x) to keep desired words together instead of the No Break attribute.
    Related is the nonbreaking hyphen (Option+Command+-) for keeping certain hyphenated text strings together (like a phone number).
    No Break is great for keeping things like URLs together. It can be set up in a character style, so that it is easy to apply and style at the same time.

  • In the previous version, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

    in the previous version  of Number, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

    Hi silvano,
    If you use a regular pattern when entering values, press enter (return) after entering the last value in a row. That will take you to the first Body Cell of the next row.
    Start in Cell B2
    1 Tab 2 Tab 3 Enter
    4 Tab 5 Tab 6 Enter
    7 Tab 8 Tab 9 Enter
    Now you are ready to type into B5 .
    Another way that some people find easier is to enter one column at a time
    Start at B2
    1 enter
    4 enter
    7 enter
    etc.
    Now start with C2.
    Use whatever suits your work flow.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Return Order Creation with Multiple Lines not possible - 7.0 to EHP3

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing an issue while creating Return Orders with external reference billing document post upgrade from CRM 7.0 to EHP3.
    While we select multiple line items from the external reference billing document and Create a return order, the very first line item gets repeated instead of all the line items getting copied to the subsequent view(BT120H_CPL/ItemList ).
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Rohit

    >>. But is it possible in PI 7.0?
    Just few cents..
    Test using SOAPUI or  XMLSPY and use that same WSDL URL in the target URL of Communication channel. Just to make sure you use the right endpoint.
    or
    You can specify the method name as  soap action dynamically using udf in mapping and see how it behaves.

  • Duplicate spread causes some text to shift within its frame

    Hi,
    Indesign CS5 problem:
    When I duplicate the first page of my working document some text shifts vertically within its frame on the duplicate page.
    The same thing happens if I copy the text box and paste in place, the shift also occurs.
    This is a small grab of the file with the 1st page on the left and the duplicate page (or paste in place) on the right.
    Its driving me nuts, any help much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Dave

    Aha, you have got somewhere then!  Something is causing that type to shift, why it isn't in your original doesn't matter, the idml one is "cleaner" and now the behaviour makes sense in that both frames are bahaving the same.  There must be something somewhere, I assume you've checked the baseline shift in the control panel?
    If you are sure it's nothing like that it's time to replace your preferences, see the link here.

  • How to turn off 'Return Key jumps to next cell' in Tables?

    I can't find where you turn off this feature.  I want to type two paragraphs in a cell with a space between them.  I've wasted 2 hours trying to figure this out.  Please help!

    Hey, I just wanted to let you know I've been having the same issue with the new 3.0 update for Numbers and just found a keyboard shortcut that has helped me a great deal.  I guess I'll be using this until they add an option to turn that "Return Key Moves to Next Cell" off, like the older versions had...
    Anyway, if you place the cursor where you'd like a line break and press Ctrl+O (mind you I do mean Ctrl and NOT Command here), it will insert a line break at that place.  Hope this helps!

  • Return vendor rejection from production line

    Hi,
    Guru,
    How to return vendor rejection from production line and it should be vendor wise.
    regards,
    rakesh patel

    Hi..
    To achieve this requirement there are some developments are required.
    e.g.:- One different movement type should be there for handling vendor rejection from production line to transit store.
    One different transit store should be there  for handling the rejections.
    And you must know that particular material has come from which vendor e.g. 10nos are from xyz vendor and 7 nos from abc vendor.
    Now you can do the transfer posting thru MIGO from production line to transit store. and can select supplier from partner tab.
    Different movement type and storage location would be very helpful for reporting part. And maintain discipline.
    Regards
    Vivek.

  • My return and shift key stopping working

    my return and shift key stopping working. It wont go to the next line or function as an enter.
    Now, most of the time it wont do anything but if you push it several times it will type a 0p or /- or control volume the instead. I checked the keyboard setting and voicecontrol and reset it to default and updated software for system but no resolve. How do I fix this?

    Hi -- I have this problem too. I cleaned out the keyboard, did an SMC reset, a PRAM reset, and also followed the steps I could follow from this article, linked to in the answer to another question:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
    no luck with any of it. Could we please have some advice targetted at the specific problem of nonfunctional shift and return keys on a MacBook Air?
    In the meantime I'm using only the left-side shift and have downloaded and installed KeyRemap4MacBook and remapped my backslash key so it issues the "return" command. A clunky work around but it seems to do the trick, at least.

  • How do I return a match across multiple lines in UNIX?

    How do I return a match over multiple lines in UNIX?
    For example, I want to return the contents within tags across two lines:
    <tag>content content content
    content content content</tag>

    For the Perl example, how does the .. work?
    Range Operator:
    <http://www.perl.com/doc/manual/html/pod/perlop.html#Range_Operators>
    ...The operator is bistable, like a flip-flop, and emulates the line-range (comma) operator of sed, awk, and various editors. Each "..'' operator maintains its own boolean state. It is false as long as its left operand is false. Once the left operand is true, the range operator stays true until the right operand is true, AFTER which the range operator becomes false again....

  • What causes  carriage returns to become page turns in Epu  docs from Pages?

    I converted a long document from pages to Epub. Towards the end a section adds a new page at each carriage return. I tried everything. still can't fix it.

    I think that both your pages have a missing </div> at the end somewhere.
    Opps... that happened when I was stripping down the page to create a working example of my issue. I've fixed the missing div and re-uploaded both pages. The problem is still there.
    Change display: inline; to float: left; and add margin: 0 0 4px 4px; (as shown below)
    I had already tried using float, but something else in the code was forcing the columns to 2 instead of 3.
    Have you used "Apply Source Formatting" ?
    I use that religiously. I'm quite anal about visually clean code.
    Well, I just fixed the problem while replying... funny... I removed the margins from the actual img element (.imageThumb img) and placed it on the div which surrounds the img (.imageThumb). I also reapplied the float. Thanks all for the help - it helped me rethink. But I could have sworn I had once placed the margins on .imageThumb before and it didn't work.
    .imageThumb {
        width: 100px;
        height: 75px;
        display: inline;
        float: left;   
        margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;
        cursor: pointer;
    .imageThumb img {
        /*margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;*/
