Dotted line around objects

Every object i place there seems to be some kind of dotted border around them and it is making working very tedious.

    They don't print, do they?

    Those dotted borders normally indicate that those objects are on the master page, and you are seeing them on a body page.

    Try View > Extras > Hide Frame Edges.

    It could also be Extras > Hide Hyperlinks

    If it is every object, make sure you are not actually working on a Master page.

    Glad you found the correct answer!

    However, just to further Barb's point if you ever have any doubt you can (aside from printing) also switch to preview mode to check the box's you are seeing are just visual guides rather than actually there.

    Best,
