Struggling with a layout issue. Need Help, Please!
First off, I have Office 2010 and I have a word doc that I'm struggling with a layout issue and need some help.
The issue is that I have a Wedding program that will be printed on 8 1/12 by 11 paper turned horizontally so I can fold the page so I have a front cover page and a back page. Where I'm having difficulty is that I wish to insert a JPEG file as the background of the cover page but I would like to overlay the picture with text but I want the background of the text box to be transparent. Right now I can create a text box and position the box with the text inside over the picture just fine but instead of the background of the box being transparent, the background is a white box. I've tried numerous things but nothing seem to allow me to make the background of the text box to be transparent. Can anyone help me? Thanks |

To change the fill of a text box you need to select the BORDER of the text box. I would then right click the same border and choose Fill.
I would normally do a layout like that with a two column table and rotate the text 90 degrees in both cells. You can't rotate text inside a table upside down but you can turn text 90 degrees in either direction so you can achieve the same result that way.

Word calls the background "fill."
