Identifying Overflowed Items

Apologies if this has been addressed. I did not see it specifically within the posts that talk about overflowed items.

I’m using Freeway Express 5, if it matters.

My most common problem is with overflowed items so I have to believe it’s a very common problem when things overlap from time to time. But when I go to publish, the message will tell me that item A2B1BA1A1 or some other meaningless number is overflowed and often there are multiple items because something shifted or I did something else.

The problem comes with trying to identify what that particular element is. On a page that may have dozens of elements, sometimes it can be a nightmare to find and identify the problem element, and often it’s either behind something or invisible.

Is there any way to specifically have the problem element(s) highlighted in some way to identify which pieces are causing the problem? I don’t bother naming each element since it could add a huge amount of time to the development process, and spending all that time doing it to account for a program shortcoming just doesn’t seem like the best use of my time.

Any suggestions?

Hi Ron

If you go to > menu > view > titles

I should also add that if you the site palette and click on the cog at the base > then show items, this will allow to click on the errant object to locate it.
