Is it possible to show frame edges in design mode?

That's what I thought. It would be useful to toggle show/hide the edges of my frames to check alignment, to make sure that frames aren't overly large and overlapping other frames unnecessarily, etc.
I would like to have this functionality, Adobe, if you're listening!
Thanks for the confirmation Hendrik.

Show frame edges

I have "show frame edges" checked and yet my document does not show them. i have content boxes (within a picture frame) as well as text boxes, why don't the outlines show up? it looks like it would in preview mode - no boxes showing - why??? thanks

In ID CS2 (qualifying that in case this was changed in CS3):
The frame toggle is:
CMD+h
If your View menu has an entry for
b "Show Frame Edges"
, then this indicates that your Frame Edges are currently hidden (or should be), and that using the command will "Show" the frames.
If your View menu has an entry for
b "Hide Frame Edges"
, then this indicates that your Frame Edges are currently visible (or should be), and that using the command will "Hide" the frames.
Other View toggles:
CMD+; = show/hide (ruler) guides
CMD+r = show/hide Rulers
w = toggle preview mode
CMD+OPT+y = show/hide text threading (linked text boxes)
BTW: This post seems to be in direct conflict with another request you made about not wanting to see the frames...
Is the layer color set to white? That would make identifying the frame edges VERY hard against a white background.

Auto show frame edges live view & scaling

I have just started using InDesign CS5 and I have found how to switch off live view for better performance, but CS5 also has the this thing where if you run the mouse pointer over objects, by default it highlights the frame edges of the object the pointer is on. It also has the icon that shows if it's an image or not. I prefer to work with a clean interface and switch stuff like that on if necessary. Can somebidy help be find where to disable that feature please.
One other thing is when I used to command/option/scale an object, in CS4 it would alway scale proportionately from whichever corner I grabbed. Now by default it scales from the centre of the object. How can I get it back to scaling from the corner I grab please.
Thanks!

Frame Edge Highlighting:
This is a oft hated feature that you can't turn off. Have a look at this Indesign Secrets post here, and here's a summary of some from this forum.
Content Grabber:
Thankfully Adobe made this new function able to be turned off, go View > Extras > Hide Content Grabber.
Scaling:
This thread here should answer your question.

Preview Mode shows different page than design mode

When I am editing my page in Design mode in Muse CC, the page is approximately 700px long. When I preview that same page within Muse, it adds about 300px to the bottom of the page. There are no text boxes or other content that is causing the shift? Why are my webpages appearing different in the Preview panel than in my Design panel?

Please send your .muse file to [email protected] with subject marked Att:Vikas.

Hide Frame Edges CS3 Tiger G5 processor

Everything I have read seems to indicate that COMMAND+H does not hide frame edges, it hides the entire INDD CS3 app. BUT this is only happening while running Leopard 10.5 on an intel processor machine.
It is happening to me running Tiger 10.4, G5 processor.
What is troubling is that the view menu still shows COMMAND+H is the hide frame edges command. It does not show CONTROL+COMMAND+H as this forum indicated.
NOW the keyboard shortcuts under the edit meny shows CONTROL+COMMAND+H is the hide indesign key command.
So what I have going on is indesign hides when I do a COMMAND+H AND it hides when I do a CONTROL+COMMAND+H!
SO HOW DO I HIDE FRAME EDGES USING A KEYBOARD COMMAND?

Well I did go through the menus and that's what spurred my question.
The VIEW menu states that the keyboard shortcut "COMMAND+H" toggles hide/show frame edges but is does not. It hides the entire application.
"W+SELECTION Tool" works ok if "show frame edges" is already toggled on.
I need to see where the frame edges are for non stroked TEXT boxes in a customer supplied file.
I'd like to be able to toggle show/frame edges on/off without mousing and have the guides toggled off. Perhaps the "W" thing will work and I'll try it but the "COMMAND+H" shortcut is still wrong. CS2 works fine, what the view menu shows in CS3 is wrong. Same machine has both applications loaded so it is not an OS/processor issue. Appears to be an oversite in the CS3 application.
NEWS FLASH
I just found that if I do an OPTION+COMMAND+H, the finder and all other applications will hide, I can then immediately do a COMMAND+H to show/hide Frame edges. If I go to the finder or other application then back to indesign the "hide indesign" behavior takes place.
So it looks like I must first hide all other active applications (OPTION+COMMAND+H), then toggle the frames using the COMMAND+H.

Hide Frame edges

Done my research, the default command for Tiger and Leopard to hide window is the same as the InDesign command (CMD h) for hide/show frame edges. Has anyone figured out how to disable the OS default? I cannot find it in the System Preference > Keyboard and Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts.

>I do find it a little unnerving that common responses to InDesign's bad choices in programming to be "Why do you need to do that, why not".
As opposed to what response I wonder. Those that don't know "the answer" had better shut it? I say better to give alternative advice. You won't believe the [nice people] that come here looking for God knows what, and get pissed when offered alternatives, as if filtering out those "nebulous" responses is so tough. One wonders how they handle spam.
And just to be clear: command-h hides your app, and command control h hides your frame edges, right? No overlap. Command n no longer makes a new folder. Command u no longer ungroups. Command m no longer makes an alias. The list goes on. Things fall apart. The center cannot hold.

The new "Show and hide frame edges" is buggy and needless.

i have a card layout design and its irritating to see the blue outline on every block.Morever it doesnt even hide if i give any stroke.why do i need to preview everytime to see the real design.

Buggy and needless? You are sure, you use them correctly?
If you hide frame edges, they are hidden until you hover over an object. In this case, frame borders of this single object are temporarily displayed. This is working perfectly here.
What is not working on your machine? And why this is "useless"?

Make Hide Frame Edges the DEFAULT?

I almost never want to see the frame edges of any object I'm not currently manipulating. Seeing all those edges is super annoying and distracting. Sure, you can make a shortcut, but having a doc open with it hidden as default would obviously be preferred.

So what has changed your mind? With the new auto-align features, it seems even less useful to show edges.
I've never understood how people could work without 'em. How do you know where things are?
(One reason why I like frame edges: some of my clients are apt to draw huge frames for tiny images, or to re-use the same frame over and over for all content, so I get a great deal of spurious suggested auto-alignments whenever I move an object across the page.)

Is it possible to show a 'My Activity' web part on a SharePoint site if 'My Sites' is not available?

Is it possible to show a 'My Activity' web part on a SharePoint site if 'My Sites' is not available?
For example, say there's a SharePoint installation dedicated to particular (custom) SharePoint site. The users go to the site to carry out their tasks. There's no 'My Site' set up in this installation (and for other reasons I'm told it's not an option).
Is it possible to show a web part here that shows the user's recent activity? The built-in web part for this fails with the error 'Invalid URI: The URI is empty', and the details of it appear to say it's looking for the user's My Site to find out what to show:
SPMicrofeedContext.SetMySiteHostForContext failed System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The URI is empty. at System.Uri.CreateThis(String uri, Boolean dontEscape, UriKind uriKind) at Microsoft.Office.Server.Microfeed.SPMicrofeedContext.SetMySiteHostForContext()
So, while I'd be happy to write a web part (or app part) to display the information instead of using the default part, I'm not sure SharePoint is even storing the activity in a way I can access.
Some pages like the following: http://sharepointmystery.com/2012/07/22/activity-feeds-in-sharepoint-2013/ make me think it won't be possible - it says: 'The major change from 2010 is that all the [activity] content is stored in the user’s personal site, not
in a common database.'
Are activity feeds dependent on 'My Sites' or is there a way to access the information when 'My Sites' is not present in the deployment? I can't find a definitive answer in Microsoft's documentation.

To clarify, do you have the User Profile Service (including MySite Host) up and running on this environment? That's subtley different to the full MySite experience which is clearly not applicable...
Interesting question - thanks for that. Until now I didn't realise there was a difference.
The User Profile Service is up and running, but no MySite Host is set. (I don't believe MySite will be available anywhere here. I guess that means there's no valid MySite Host for me to use.)
Many thanks,
Geoff

Possible to show bottom of scrolling text first when icon is displayed?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to show the bottom of
scrolling text when the display comes up? For instance, let's say
you have 20 lines of text in a scrolling display, but it only has
room for 10. By default, Authorware shows the top 10 lines in the
scrolled display, not the bottom 10. I want to show the bottom
10--is this possible?
Thanks,
Edwin

Hi,
Well, I decided to have the most current information at the
top of the display. For instance, if it were a chat, the most
current chat info would be on top instead of on bottom. That fixed
the problem adequately.

CS6 view show layer edges, how to make it stay on by default?

Just like the title says how can I get it to always show the layer edges?

Hmm. Don't think so. But you can assign a Keyboard Shortcut to Show Layer Edges so you won't have to navigate to that command.

Is it possible to show a presentation from the original iPad via wireless on an older projector with no HDMI input?

is it possible to show a presentation from the original iPad via wireless on an older projector with no HDMI input? If so, what equipment is needed?

The ipad not support wireless projector yet.
The workaround is you are using computer that connected wirelessly [needs 2 wireless adapter] / via cable to projector and connected also to the wireless router.
You are controlling the computer via wireless connected to the router using remote desktop app like splashtop, teamviewer, logmein, vnc, etc. You must set the remote desktop port and app at the computer too as ipad app support.

Is it possible to show data from two different sql tables?

Is it possible to show data from two different sql tables? Either to show combined data by using a join on a foreign key or showing a typical master detail view?
I have one table With data about a house, and another table With URL's to images in the blob. Could these two be combined in the same Gallery?
Best regards Terje F - Norway

Hi Terje,
If you have a unique key, you could use one of the following functions for your scenarios:
If you only have one image per house, you can use LookUp:

If you have multiple images per house, you can use Filter:
