Hello all,

Text is covered with grey boxes on this specific page of my document. Other pages of the same document look fine. Also, when I export the document to a PDF all looks good, the grey boxes do not show. FYI paragraph border/shading is off. Thank you so much for your thoughts. Alexa

Hi @alexam34312234 ,

zoom in. What do you see? Text is rendered fine?

My guess is that you are seeing "Greeked Text". A feature, not a bug, you can control in InDesign's Preferences.

Go to Preferences > Display Performance and set the value for greeking text to 0.
