Problems with grip points

[militantmandy]

This is probably something really simple, but suddenly in Illustator, when i use the direct selection tool i can no longer see anchors on lines. I have the guides on and it comes up with the word "anchor" but I can't see it!! Also, on a cuve, i can no longer see the little grips that allow you to change the curve shape.

I'm sure this will be a piece of cake for you folks!

I find that useful for when there's a lot of overlapping shapes and the outlines are making visibility poor. Of if there's just one shape and you're adjusting it and keep checking to see how it looks, and don't want to adjust, deselect/check, select again, adjust, deselect/check, select again, adjust, deselect/check, select again, adjust, deselect/check, select again,...
