Hi,
This is my 1st post to the forum, and I'd love any suggestions on how to permanantly hide the little dotted selection box that has recently been popping up around all my selections. A quick command-H temporarily hides the box but it comes back.
I had this problem about a year ago and I think I solved it w/ a fresh install of photoshop. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Brad

As far as I know there is no way to turn-off the marching ants permanently. Cmd. H toggles their visibility on and off at will.

Is not marching ants it's...easier to just show you. Please check out the linked screenshot:www.alcoholpolicynetwork.org/select_box.jpg <www.alcoholpolicynetwork.org/select_box.jpg>
BTW I reinstalled photoshop 7 but that didn't solve anything.
It's a pain trying to work with this visually annyoing box automatically showing up on all my selections.
Thanks for your reply, Ann. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Brad

If you can edit your link in time, use the correct html tag , put quote marks around the link, close the command with the carrot >, add the text you want to appears as linked, then provide an end tag

What you're seeing, Brad, is the "Bounding Box."
With the Move Tool selected in the toolbox, look at the Options Bar.
Un-check the "Show Bounding Box" box.

AHHHH...that feels so good! ;-)
Thanks Phosphor.
Thanks for the html help too.

You're welcome.
All my info points to is that it's extremely important to look at and explore every possibilty that Photoshop offers.
There's lots to be found by Control-Clicking on EVERYthing, and to explore options, looking for drop-down and flyout menus wherever you see little tiny triangles in the interface.
