OrCAD Capture CIS - Disable Pin Numbers

Hi, everyone. I've been away from OrCAD for a while - we switched to Altium about 6 years ago at my old company. I'm on a new job, and I'm re-learning OrCAD again. So, I have lots of stuff to relearn, and I have a lot of stupid questions. The first problem that I can't figure out is how to disable pin numbers or names on components that I don't want them to be visible. For example, every resistor symbol I'm placing on the schematic has the pin numbers visible, and it's annoying and cluttering up the schematic. I'm using OrCAD Capture CIS V17.2. I have notes and training manuals from the old 16.XX version, but a lot of the stuff isn't the same anymore. I know, it's a newbie question, but I'm having a hard time finding the answer. Help! :)

17.2 has a new symbol editor that is usually hidden on the right side of the symbol window. It's a significant change.

I usually end up marking pin 1 with a tiny dot on passives as with RF, a predecessor moved the footprint origin to pin1, not IPC-standard body center, so they can do their pi-networks straight. While using metric footprints on english snap grids. O_o
