It doesn't seem to have any effect, though. Here are some additional details: The fill color for the frame is set to "None". The line color for the frame -- I've set this to "Pink2", with 20% opacity, and redone the text entry, but the text appears with full opacity. When I run a print preview, the preflight verifier gives a warning about the text frame: "Object has transparency". The document has one layer, "Background", and all the objects are in it. Do I need to create additional layers and use layer opacity to produce the effect desired? That seems to work. --RC
