Hi, 

the guides do not appear on top of objects.

I can see them only if I select them

Never seen this before 

(Im using a template document from adobe stock)

 

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi dritani176,

there is a preference in InDesign that all guides should go to the background.

This is not the default. Maybe this preference is set in your template document?

 

Go to:

Preferences > Grids > [x] Grids in Back

Uncheck this option.

 

If this is already unchecked we have a different case.
