TextBkgndTrans Cell (Text Block Format Section)

Determines the transparency level for the background color of the shape's text block.

Value Description
0 - 100
Represents the percentage of transparency. The default is 0% (completely opaque).

Remarks

Values are rounded to the nearest half percent. A value of 100% is completely transparent. Although a shape that has a completely transparent text background appears the same on the drawing page as a shape that has no text background, it interacts with other objects on the page in the same way as if its transparency were 0%.

You can also set this value using the slider control on the Font tab of the Text dialog box (on the Home tab, click the Font arrow).
