  Lost text line ‘guides’ in the text box

  Posted by Karma Forester on November 13, 2008 at 11:35 am

  I have managed to loose the text line guides (the blue little guide that shows the path/line the text is typed on) and I cannot remember how to get it back. In illustrator the control H command shows/hides the text bounding box and line guide, but in ID only the box is affected. It is especially annoying when you are trying to type text on a path, and the path is invisibele.

  Please help.

  Did you put the page into Preview mode (where no guides or non-printing items are showing up)? You’ll need to make sure you’re in Normal view mode and turn “Show Frame Edges” back on (View menu).

  Thanks for your reply erica. Nope, I’m not in preview mode… I figured it out though. I was mixing it up a bit with the illustrator interface – and then i figured out how to get gridlines back in individual textboxes so I think I am ok now. 🙂
