The blue around the text boxes is the edge of the frame, and that is normal. You can turn it off by choosing View > Extras > Hide Frame Edges.

If the frame edges weren't visible before and you have no idea how they became visible, it’s possible you accidentally pressed the three-key shortcut shown next to the command on the menu.

      Hi there, I aslo have this issue but don't have the settings you detail View > Extras > Hide Frame Edges.

      How do I action this if I don't have the available settings above?

      Are you sure you don’t have the command, and, are you sure you are in Adobe InDesign? The Hide/Show Frame Edges command has been part of InDesign for many versions.

       

      If you are in InDesign and the command is missing, check these possible reasons:

      • If the frame edges are already hidden, the command will appear as Show Frame Edges instead of Hide Frame Edges. 
      • Choose Edit > Menus and see if the current Set is InDesign Defaults. If it isn’t, then a custom menu Set may be in use, and in that custom set, Hide/Show Frame Edges might have been disabled. To fix that, switch to a menu Set where Hide/Show Frame Edges is enabled, such as InDesign Defaults.
