If your text items are expressions try enclosing them, making the background opaque, putting them in the position you want and then setting the frame to zero width. I set up quite a complicated masking of the lower part at the beginning of a two-staff section in a string part using opaque shapes, just blank rectangles with no text, as recommended by someone on this list (sorry I can't remember who to give them the credit!). However, I've just tried creating a text expression and superimposing it first on a crescendo hairpin, which worked, and then on a slur which didn't! Very mysterious. I'm using FinWin 2000c.
