Unable to see text box frame in InDesign

When I single click on the page to type a title the text box does not appear, but the text box works when I click and hold to create a paragraph area.

That's correct you need to create a text frame first. Then insert your text.

Hi there,

 

Sorry about the trouble you are facing. I would like to know if the steps suggested above worked for you? If not go to View > Extras > Show Frame Edges (ctrl + h/ ctrl + cmd + h) and see if you are able to see text box frame again. If this doesn't resolve your issue, please share a small clip of your workflow. Also, confirm in which document preset you are working Mobile, Print or Web?

 

I will be looking forward to your resposne.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Anshul Saini
