Showing text, field, or button boundaries
You can show boundaries for text objects, field objects, and buttons in Layout mode. Boundaries help you easily identify, position, and align these objects while you’re designing a layout.
To show text, field, or button boundaries:
  •
In Layout mode, choose one of the following menu commands:
 
Choose
Boundaries appear as
View menu > Show > Text Boundaries
A thin black line around each text object
View menu > Show > Field Boundaries
A thin black line around each field object
View menu > Show > Buttons
A gray line around each button
To hide text, field, or button boundaries:
  •
Choose the corresponding command from the Show submenu again.
Notes
  •
These boundaries only appear in Layout mode. However, you can format objects to have borders that do appear in Browse mode and when you print the layout. For more information, see Setting auto-resize options for layout objects and Adding borders, fill, and baselines to fields.
