David,
In your Layout Window, select the legend frame, click the Region Style
button, and set the fill pattern to N for None. That should make the legend
transparent. Similarly, you could change it to have a new background color
or something.
Good luck,

Subject: MI Legend backgrounds
Help Listers!
Situation: Using aerial photography as a backdrop I have used
some 'White' cosmetic items e.g. White dasked polyline to show a
disused railway line.
Problem: However, when I generate a Legend you can't see the
cosmetic item because the background of the legend is white too! I
can quite sucessfully put a border around the legend but can't
seem to find anyway of colouring in the background of the legend
or importing a picture as the backdrop as you can do in some
graph programs. No doubt I am missing the obvious, so can
anyone show me where to click to get results?
Thanks in advance...
