SigsCreations Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 This is the first document I've needed to make that has a lot of small text boxes with titles for these on a colored rectangle. I find I am having a terrible time trying to figure out if I have my design balanced since the outline of the text boxes always shows. I need a "print preview" like in the old MS Word versions, or a way to turn off all guides, grids, and outlines easily. Please let me know if I just missed how to do this.

000 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 There is a 'Preview' toggle in the view menu, youmcan also add a preview button tomthe toolbar if youmwish — this toggles a print preview without any guidelines on and off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Harris Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 You can also get rid of just the text boxes by unticking Show Text Flow. Alfred and vonBusing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigsCreations Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 Dave - thanks that is not intuitive at all. I figured if I turned that off, then I wouldn't see text auto flow into the columns. Not that it would turn off the boundary box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_A Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 The Preview mode still shows empty picture frames with a cross. Ideally, those would disappear. In contrast, white or transparent shapes created by the various shape tools are invisible when in either view mode, which makes them hard to find and select. (Finding them using the Layers palette is going to be difficult on a complex page.)
