On Windows, ctrl+shift+W (View > Hide All Guides) leaves the text visible, but hides the frame. Also, unchecking View > Show Text Flow hides the text frame unless you click in it.

ballardstudio Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The tab key also hides all with the exception of the baseline grid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, on Windows, the tab key operates much as it does in Photo and Designer, and highs all the UI stuff, leaving just the page I'm on, and the frame(s) on that page are still visible.

firstdefence Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think more clarification of the original post would help, i.e. in what context is this question asked.

basholtzer Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) I could't find it anywhere in the menus and preferences. As far as I can see, the only way to remove the visible text frames is to hold the space bar (as you would do to move the screen manually). But this is only temporary of course. In the tutorial "More advanced text" the frame edged disappear with the guides. That doesn't work for me at this moment.
