Post subject: Design checker question Archived from groups: microsoft>public>publisher (more info?)
I often get an "error" in design checker that says "Object is not
visible." When I right-click and choose "Go to this item", nothing
apparent happens. When I choose "Fix: bring object to front", nothing
happens, and the error message does not go away.

Select all, give everything a line. Does the phantom object show up? If it does,
make a note where it is and do an "undo." At least you will know the area where
to try to delete the object.

When you select everything on the screen and apply a line (border) every object
will have the border.

Okay, thanks. Tried that. No phantom objects. Any other ideas?

I have no other ideas. Do you get a strange print? Are there objects on the the
scratch area? What happens if you select all, copy/paste to a new publication?
Does the object show up then?

I'm sorry I couldn't be more help. It is a mystery...
Convert the page to a web site, then do the Design Checker. Is the phantom
object there?

Yes it (or rather, they, since there are 4 error messages) are.

Hey Craig, It will be one of those cyber things we will never figure out.
