How to disable auto-fill in Pages?

After its lates "upgrade" Pages start, AGAIN, to finish spelling the word as I am typing. WHY???

This is extremely irritating to any touch typest as they catch the extended word out of their perphial vision and sometime causes mistakes as they get destracted and at 60 WPM, or better, that can be quite a mistake.

I have searched both System and Pages settings but unable to find the perameter that turns this off AGAIN but it used to be in System Settings because that took care of all word entry options apps to all of them acted the same.

How can this be turned OFF?

ps - this should be under both Sonoma and Pages.

What I meant to post:

System Settings > Keyboard > Input Sources [Edit] > Show Inline Predictive text (⦿ ) off.

I do not know if this is related or not but I just purchased a Dymo label maker and get an error message when trying to download the driver from Dymo. They have updated their driver so that it is supposedly only downloadable to Sonoma. I have that parameter set "App Store and Authorized Developers" BUT do not believe there is a restriction on DRIVERS.

But if Dymo has not code-signed their driver installer, then you will get a dialog when you run that installer offering to remove that unknown developer app, and you cilck Cancel. Then you immediately visit System Settings > Privacy & Security where you scroll down to the security section and see the option to install the app anyway. Click that, and then you can run the Dymo installer.

You will still need to visit System Settings > Printers & Scanners, and if there is no Dymo entry under Printers, you click the Add Printer… button and then tell it to use the newly installed Dymo driver. Then click Add.

Thankyou Viking as that did it. Now, again with other settings, to remember how this has gotten changed then set up as DEFAULT ON instead of off. One of these years I will catch up with all the magnamimus changes both to the OS and to a couple of APPS that I use constantly.

Think I need to remove the secondary question I added to this and start a different discussion on it.
