Auto Styles: I want to disable this!!

Auto Styles is annoying. I have created my own style palettes for years and I don't want to use this. Can it be disabled?

 

Also, I use to be able to copy and paste into my InDesign layout client comments in Acrobat "Comments" that included editorial revisions, and the new content would take on my layout paragraph styles within copy that had been given a paragraph style. All of a sudden, copy pastes in with no style and I have to reapply the paragraph style. This is annoying, especially if I have done kerning on the paragraph previously. Is there a work-around to this? It has really slowed down my production.

Turn it off in Preferences > Clipboard Handling

Maybe try using the PDF Comments panel to import the PDF which actually brings in and organizes all the comments. Even better, make sure your Acrobat editor people are aware of the 3 Auto-Edit Comment tools from among the 20 available comment tools. If they use the 3 Auto-Edit tools, once you pipe in the PDF Comments in the panel, they can simply update your InDesign layout. Very satisfying!

Oh man! Thank you! Who would have thought that is where to find it? Seems it should be with type preferences. Gees.

I agree that it's not obvious that it should be controlled from Clipboard Handling preferences. It is applied when copying/pasting from a text file, Word file, copying from browser. It's a very early Technology Preview, and I keep it turned off too!
