This is very odd. In the last couple of weeks I've been working with my X8 on a new computer and everything seems OK but on the first project I worked on a striped (actually more liked lined paper) BG shows on the working area, i.e. the page itself.
The JPG with the graphic shows how the lines show through a transparent BG. The second JPG is the blank page with the lines. I've raised the contrast quite a bit to show better what I'm seeing. Now, when I go to preparation for printing and convert to CMYK JPG, the lines disappear. So they are not "really" there, if you see what I mean. I've checked in the options, but I can't find anything that would explain this. BTW it hasn't happened a second time (yet).
Anyone got an idea?

Let's start like this
Start a new page. What do you see? Lines or no?
If yes, how do the layers look?
Easier to use windows Snipping Tool to quickly capture any area of the workspace then just copy and paste here.
AAAAAAHHHH!!!! Eskimo! That was it. I have NEVER used (or needed) that setting and didn't even know it existed! Thank you. It was driving me crazy!
MyronThank you for the suggestions, but as I said, the lines hadn't showed up again. And I did use the snipping tool, but as I uploaded the JPG the lines in the "writing box" weren't visible. That's why I adjusted the contrast.
I'm glad to be able to help!
I you want to really be driven crazy, accidentally turn on "vertical text" - and have all text, going forward, created so that it is rotated 90 degrees clockwise! And not just in the current document, as it's an application preference, not a document setting.
It can be turned on by a keyboard shortcut, but the setting for "vertical text" is not visible anywhere in the program settings.
It can be switched back to normal by using... another keyboard shortcut.
