Problem solved. Solution: I am an idiot.
The RestoreWindows plugin was turning on element boundaries everytime I opened the file. Like I asked it to... I've left your suggestions in this reply Peter, as they are exactly what I WAS doing and should help anyone without the RestoreWindows plugin installed. Thanks to all for their responses. My new brain arrives on Friday. Gordon -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: Auto Hide Element Boundaries? Hi, Gordon: It sounds as if you're not saving the files in the state you want them to open in. The display of element boundaries and tags, as well as text symbols, and borders, and zoom percentage, are all saved with files. A quick way to manipulate multiple files is to use Shift+File. When used from a book window, the Open All, Save All, Close All, actions only work on book files; when used from a non-book window, the Save All and Close all work on all open files, book members or free-standing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ This email (and any attachments) is private and confidential, and is intended solely for the addressee.
