How do I get rid of the border around the text box and every image I place
in InDesign? Can you preview your work?
Thanks!

It's not clear what you mean by border. ID shows a bounding box (usually in blue or magenta) around every item on screen. These boxes do not print.

You can turn off most of the bounding boxes with Ctrl+H or the Hide command on the menu. You can turn off all the guidelines, etc. by going to Preview mode, under the View menu.

Most users find the guidelines useful in sizing, scaling, and placing elements, but it can be convenient to turn them off to get a clearer view in complex documents.

You've set the default line width to something other than 0. Be sure nothing is selected (click outside *everything*, or choose "Select None" from the Edit menu) and check for a value in the Stroke panel.

Can you preview your work?

Sure. The bottom icons of the toolbar do exactly that: switching between edit mode (you see the pasteboard, guides, frames) and preview mode (you only see your page and possibly selected frames, nothing else). The toggle key is 'W', but be sure you don't accidentally have a text cursor. (The quick check is: press 'W', if nothing happens you'll have a 'w' somewhere in your document.)

Thanks so much for answering such a question ... only a beginner could ask.
Your help is appreciated.

Ikota,

Trust me, only beginners need to ask why there's a stroke on everything, but it happens to all of us from time to time. ;)

It can be pretty annoying if you don't notice the problem until you see the press proofs.

Thanks Peter! One baby-step has lead to another and I'm so excited about
InDesign! I've discovered You Tube tutorials and I see how powerful and
wonderful InDesign is!

Links to any favorite tutorials would be welcome.

Thanks again!

One of the tutorials mentions Adobe stock photography
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/?id=vid0064
But I can find the icon in InDesign CS4 ?
Thanks

Adobe Stock Photos has been discontinued, and the icon to launch Bridge has been moved into the menu bar at the top, just to the right of the help menu.

Also look at Lynda.com It's worth at least a short subscription to check out their video tutorials in just about any product you can name.
