Hi.
I don’t how to call it, but there is a feature in Indesign that put me crazy: kind of a “selection helper”. For instance, when I have an image in a box, if I want to select the box, I use the “Selection Tool”, and if I want to select the image inside, “Direct Selection Tool”. But I don’t know why there is a long time Indesign let me select the image inside the box even with the “Selection Tool”.
My problem is Indesign made it easier to select some things, but in several cases it’s not what I want. I’m not sure if I was clear, but if som, someone knows a way to turn this thing off?
Thanks,
Luiz
