I was tempted title this post “How to Hide the !@#$ Donut” since that’s the phrase that would pop into most folks’ minds when they wanted to search for an answer to this problem. But I’m not sure Google understands grawlix.
Anyway, you know what I mean. Every single InDesign user on the planet has at least once dragged a placed image out of position by accidentally dragging the Content Grabber. Indeed, the Content Grabber is the Jar Jar Binks of InDesign; it means well, but most folks wish it would just go away.
Fortunately, making the Content Grabber go away is easy and it’s the subject of David Blatner’s latest InDesignSecrets video at lynda.com.
So check out the video, spare yourself some aggravation, and save the donuts for Homer Simpson.
