Hi, I am trying to find out if there's any way to turn off ligatures document-wide. Right now my team has to click on every character style to turn them off. We have over 80 300+ page book documents, so doing this is a pain! The ligatures are a problem when we export to Flashpaper...pdfs work fine. Please help!

    In advanced mode you will see paragaph styles. If not go to Windows>styles>Paragraph style.....

    or press F11 to call out Paragraph style window

    Go to edit your basic paragraph style or any other paragraph style you have.

    Under paragraph style options window> Basic Character formats> uncheck Ligatures.

    good luck.
