Mike:
First of all thanks for your reply. I followed your instructions but kword 
still put a white background in the text box under any text that was typed 
in. It let the background remain transparent where text was not added in the 
box. This is not the action I was looking for. I was looking for the text in 
the text box to be imprinted over the background with only the letters 
blocking the background. I have opened a bug/wish list item on bugzilla 
#120537 for this.

This is my first attempt to use kword in a long time. Despite this problem and 
the fact that some times saving a file in .odt format does not get the file 
to appear in OpenOffice just as it did in kword I am impressed with kword. I 
expect the .odt file saving problems to disappere quickly. When the 
transparency issue is resolved I can that shift almost all of my 
wordprocessing from openoffice to koffice. Thanks for your help in this 
matter.
