There's no such option. All the rollover buttons (the objects that have a link and mouseover or mousedown state) have this auto highlighting applied automatically. This is a new feature in WD6.
However, you can disable this feature for the WD5/X5 compatibility. To do so, simply add the "NoAutoHighlight" name to any object in your design.

Hi John
I just put this in another thread but here we go
I updated a wd5 site yesterday and wd6 just automatically added this new feature all on its own, and it works beautifully, the nav bar in question was from the original wd5 gallery though so dont know if that makes a difference but it all worked just fine

Yes, it was intended to work this way. And we implemented it so that the 'selected' state is automatically added to any rollovers created in WD5/X5. It's simple and perfectly safe. If you have a mouseover state, it will be used for the current page link. This can't ruin the design as you vouldn't ever add something design ruining as the mouseover state right? Now, if you in addition has a mousedown layer, it will be used instead of the mouseover. These simple rules are good enough to have a slick transition for the old designs and good capabilities for the new ones.

Its awesome John and really really intuitive now can you stop selling it? I am going to be out of a job otherwise
