How to once again see just the column guides?

Report · Nov 10, 2017

I am used to seeing what I call 'column guides', the blue nonprinting boxes that suggest the outlines for columns. Now I have done something that gives me either a view of masses of gridlines and makes my text unreadable OR just a print preview with no guidance at all.

Below is what I see with the grids. Here is what I have tried switching to show/hide guides and frames:

View>Extras>Show/Hide Frame Edges

View>Grids & Guides>Show/Hide Guides

View>Screen Mode>Normal/Preview

View>Overprint Preview

Hi,

Those are Document Grids and Baselines.

Turn them off from View menu...

To see column guides, create them from..Layout->Create guides.

Also the page can have column guides and a text frame can be divided into a set number of columns:

View>Extras>Hide Frame Edges will hide the text frame column guides without hiding the page's column guides

While View>Grids&Guides>Hide Guides will hide the page column guides, but not the textframe's guides
