Hi Greg
OK, further testing (wasting time here . . .) has come up with a possible
answer/reason why this is all happening
The file I am working on is an import of an InDesign IDML file. So I created a
page in a new document and sure enough margins are visible through content
objects - amazing !
AND - what do you know - images are not visible when the preferences are set to
that, getting them to show again is not that easy. Changing preferences has no
effect, quit, re-load has no effect, BUT, if you go to VIEW>IMAGE FRAMES>Show
images - voila it works
Maybe then the answer is to create a new document and copy everything over from
the IDML one - yet more wasted time
Have you heard before of issues with IDML files ??
kind regards
Colin
