Thread: I want to make the text box transparent

I am using one of the template designs and wish to put the title inside of the graphic as a layover, i make a text box and put it over it looks ok til i view it in a browser page and then the text box looks white over the graphic. in publisher, which i am used to, i can make a textbox transparent so that only the text is seen over a color graphic. How can i make that happen in this program. I love it so far and it seems very easy, much more so than frontpage. but i just cant figure out the transparent thing! :P thanks for any help.
