Guidelines disappear in InDesign

[RedSquirrelGirl]

Hello everyone.

I've encountered a weird thing in InDesign (CS3, but I think it was the same in CS2): lets say I'm viewing my document 1200% and I place a guideline. When I go to the "whole page" view, the guideline doesn't show up anymore. However, if I zoom in very closely - there it is. Weird. Also, that doesn't always happen. Usually it works fine with showing guidelines whatever the view. I wonder now if that is some kind a strange setting (which InDesign seems to be full of). Has anyone else even had that problem?

Lunch time!!!

I've never had that problem happen, I sometimes delete guides I've drawn because I'm still getting used to being able to select them in CS3

sometimes deleting preferences for Indesign (then restart the app) can fix weird things like that. I remember that problem on CS2–it hasn't happen on my CS3 version

Thanks, Strev. I'm gonna try that. I'm glad it happened to you too. Sometimes I'm questioning myself when things like that occur :D

Can't say I've come over this one. Mind you, the issues I normally face tend to be of my own causing lol.

I've seen similar issue, it turned out to be a memory problem.. inadequate or faulty RAM or video card can cause these anomalies
