dbrear Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 What are the red dots that appear (sometimes) at opposite corners of a text frame please? Scouring the Help file proved unsuccessful. Thanks. David
walt.farrell Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, David. If you were to select that text frame, you would see that the dots become red triangles, and you would see a red eye icon indicating that the text has overflowed the frame. You get the red dots, instead, for text frames that are not selected, when you have View > Show Text Flow enabled and the frame has overflowing text. That helps you spot the overflow in frames that are not actively selected, as you look through your document. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

dbrear Posted July 25, 2019 Author Posted July 25, 2019 Walt - thank you for taking the time to answer this pretty basic question. I'm sure you're right, but when I clicked on the frame all I could see were the usual blue 'handles' which was no help at all. I've deleted it, or I'd show you - but thanks, I know now.
