Use Invisibles Elements preferences to show or hide markers that represent invisible elements in the Document window. Showing invisible elements lets you select and view them, and change their properties in the Property inspector.
To change preferences, choose Edit > Preferences, click Invisible Elements, and then choose elements to make visible or invisible. A check mark next to the name of the element in the dialog box means the element is visible. View > Invisible Elements must be selected for the markers representing invisible elements to appear in the Document window.
