I created text boxes and image boxes in InDesign and unfortunately, they are extremely faint and hard to view. See the attached image.

The following did NOT fix the problem: "View > Extras > Show/Hide Frame Edges."

Can anyone help me, please?

^Right, the dashed frame edges indicate the frames are on a Master Page.

Also, the frames on a given layer are displayed in the color of that layer. Visibility issues can be addressed by chnging the layer color. Double-click the layer in the Layers panel to change it.

Unfortunately, when I took text off of the master page, and go to page 3&4 (see photo), the bounding boxes are still dashed. I'm only on one layer, no more layers have been created. How can I better see the bounding boxes?

Correction: see pages 2&3!

The dotted line means that the text frame is on the master page. It would be unusual to have all of that type in a master page, so I wonder if you are working on the master page when you meant to be working on the document page?

Thanks @ Migintosh. See my reply to John below. I deleted the type on the master page (only placed it there b/c I couldn't see the bounding boxes), and the document pages' bounding boxes are still too hard to see.
