Hi,

Has anybody come across this issue with InDesign CC 2017: the application opens and all the menus are working within Mac Menu Bar at the top, but the application window and the pages are not visible.

Greatly appreciate your help.

Correct answer Barb Binder

Turning both of them on makes the whole thing disappear again.

Wow. That's bizarre. With both on, Word should be hidden by InDesign.

Let's try trashing InDesign prefs:

Thank you so much. Now it shows but only when Application Bar is selected. It disappears when I click on Application Frame.

Hmmm. A screen shot may help to understand what you are looking for, but generally the controls are in the Window menu. Turning on the Application frame will turn on the Application bar automatically. Keep both selected.

If it still doesn't look right:

Window > Workspace > Essentials (or your favorite workspace)

Window > Workspace > Reset Essentials (or your favorite workspace)

Still not OK? Pls share a screen shot:
