Lines and text boxes in transferred files

Excellent! Glad you are back on track.

Thank you, Barb and Robert, for your replies.  I tooks Barb's advice and attempted a print of the pages, which proved the lines would probably not appear on any finished products.  The text box issue proved a little more challenging, but I have good news to share on that issue:

-clicking on the text box brings up text frame information in the Properties tab

-halfway down there's information on the frame's "Appearence." 

-I noticed the "Stroke" showed a thickness of 1or 2 points.

-I clicked on the points, selected zero points, and the box disappeared.  Double-checked with a test print and it was gone.

Hi @thomasb15338075:

The lines on the cover page look like a frame. Can you click on the edge to select it? Shift+click the edge? Ctrl+Alt+click the edge? If it's a frame, and you can select it, you can just press Delete.

The other lines are more mysterious, since they are regularly spaced. Do they print?

What version of InDesign did you install? 18.5?

The quickest way to solve this may be to share your file if you're comfortable doing that. Just those two pages, plus the gradient image behind page 5. You can put them on a shared server like dropbox and add a link here (which is public) or you can click my avatar above this message and send it to me as a direct message (which is private).
