Horseflesh Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Publisher is pretty great so far, but my layout is covered in blue boxes from text frames. I can hit space to hide them temporarily, but at some points in the workflow I want bounding boxes GONE unless an object is selected. Is there any way to do this? Or at least change the color to something less glaring? I didn't see anything obvious in the View menu or preferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 View > Preview Mode. If that is checked it will get rid of the boxes unless they are selected and only while they are selected.

Horseflesh Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks, can't believe I missed that. I just realized--part of the problem was at some point during my search, I was in Designer mode, which of course conceals Publisher's menus... StudioLink on top of unfamiliar apps will take some getting used to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Bohn Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Preview Mode hides more than just the text frames. If you want to hide ONLY the text frames, choose View > Hide Text Flow. I don't know WHY this feature is called Text Flow when it's obviously Text FRAMES, but there you go.

Thomahawk Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Thanks, Jeremy. Saved my day. You are right, I dont see the point either, calling the display of box frames "text flow". Well, Affinity has many things confused. Very unfortunate for us users. In Designer for example, what they call "Layers" really is "Object Groups", and real Layers do not exist. I told them a half year ago and its still wrong. Thom Artist in Illinois 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it has been discussed here as well. It's even more of a problem in Publisher, and Serif is aware of it. Artist in Illinois 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
