Can't see my guides.

Cat walked across the keyboard and now I can't see my guides. As you can see from this screenshot, my document and baseline grids are unhidden, but they aren't showing.  Clicking them on/off makes no difference; I closed InDesign and reopened it and that did not change anything, either.

Are you in "Preview Mode"?

Press [W] once. (Or click on the bottom most button in Tool Bar.)

I was too slow. I am glad it was resolved.

Nevermind - the problem was Screen Mode!

Is it your guides that are missing or your page an margins missing?  If guides are missing... go layout/create guides. If your entire page is missing...Go to file/document set-up. Make sure that was not cleared by accident?

Nothing is showing - not my margins, not my guides. And I don't want to create new guides, I want the existing ones to be visible again!
