    Default Can't see points/Nothing will highlight.

    OSX Jaguar, G4, Illustrator CS.

    Ok I may just be very dumb, but has anyone else had this problem? Suddenly, I can't see anything I highlight (bezier or text). Things can be and are selected, but I can't see anything, making it super difficult to work! I've turned on and off everything in the preferences I could find, quit and restarted the prog, rebooted the Mac....what on earth is going on here?

    Thanks all, Erica.

    PS - this only with the direct select (A arrow) tool - the bounding box does appear when I use the selection (V arrow) tool.

    Are you kidding me. I command-H'd by accident (to show outlines/edges, in place of command-Y, because I use inDesign all day and I mixed up my commands), and didn't notice/know it had turned off my visible paths.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH DOUG!!!! xoxoxoxo!!!!!
