Hello, guys.

Is there a way to fill a text frame with a non-printable color?

Is there a way to create a non-printable swatch/color?

I need to highlight some modified text frames to the editor view them easily.

But I'm afraid someone forget to remove that color, you know?!

Thank you so much!

Hope you can help me with any ideas.

Done. That's what I need.

Show, sleep and hide. Without any risk of print the colors.

Thank you all for the answers.

I think I can't explain exactly what I need in the first post. Sorry about that.

Tell the editor he should use InCopy instead and use the commenting tools.

Hi,

Did you check paragraph shading option in InDesign? It allows you to shade the text or the text in entire frame and that shading can be set to non printable.

Select the text you want the shading behind, and then enable the shading. Alt-click the below shown option to bring up the paragraph shading dialog box

You can then enable the below shown option to make the shading non-printable

You can then get something like

where the yellow color can be set to "Do not print or export"

Yes. But (of course we all ever have a but)...

My client is using InDesign CS6.

Thank you.

Create a new non-printing layer. Create an object style with a fill color of your choice (I'd recommend something very subtle) and a blend mode of multiply. Experiment to find what works best.
