Default
Either set no fill on the text box or increase the value for transparency. If this is a Word 2007 (*.docx) file format, right-click the text box border and choose Format Shape. Look in the "Fill" category.

If the file is in Word 97-2003 format (*.doc), the context menu option is called Format Text Box. You'll find the fill and transparency options on the Colors and Lines tab.
