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?

View>Grid>Baseline Grid?
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!
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.
