Guides Won't Adhere to certain pages

[contoisj]

I have a 40 page document. The guides that are in the master will not show up on three pages. Any other object I put on the master will show up.

I have tried:

• Making a second master and applying that
• Putting the guides on a new layer in the master
• Overriding the master on a page where they did work, copying them and pasting them into the pages that don't
• Overriding the problem pages and then reapplying both masters
• restarting, and rebooting.

In all cases, the guides will not show up. My margin lines are there, though. When I paste, the toolbar changes to the guide bar as if they are there.

thanks!

We can't say you didn't try to figure this out on your own!

Two ideas not on your list:

Troubleshooting 101: Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences

Troubleshooting 101: Export to .idml or .inx to clear file corruption

.idml worked, thanks!!

Awesome! So glad to hear it.

I had the same problem - very frustrating - tried all day to figure it out. Saving a new .idml file (I had one previously) and opening that to work with made all of the guides appear again. THANK YOU!!!!
