Need the ability to find "hidden" objects


Recommended Posts

I recently discovered three hidden and "unknown" text frames in a document using the Font Manager and Locate enabled me to discover them, by accident!

Publisher needs some option/function to discover and display "hidden" unwanted objects that lurk within a document. It was a shock for me to discover these text frames that had remained hidden within the "Final" version of the work and could cause serious output issues. If three large text frames were hidden then what  else could be there, unwanted?

CorelDraw has the ability to "wireframe" everything so any rogue item can be spotted and removed.

Publisher needs the ability to display ALL items on and off the page spread. Forgive me if there is already some ability/function to do this, if there is perhaps someone would be kind enough to show me how.

Thank you. I love the way Publisher is shaping up. Great work so far.

Hmm… looks like Outline mode has been removed from the newest Publisher Beta (it was there in a previous version, and certainly exists in Designer).

Not sure why as it is very useful for spotting lost objects as you say.

The layers panel will be of some use to spot such missing items.

If the object have literally been hidden then Layer > Show all might help.

To show objects off the canvas disable View > View mode > Clip to Canvas.
