Gay, Art is giving you a different way to do what you want. You want to make the background of a text block transparent in FrameMaker; you cannot do this. But you can get the same LOOK by adjusting the transparency of the image, which allows the white of the page to show through. You get the same LOOK by a different method. As Art says, there are several ways to get the same look. More in line with your concept, open the image in Photoshop and add a layer on top of the image. Fill this layer entirely with white. Then adjust the transparency of the white layer to allow the image layer to show through. Then import the image back into the Frame file. This method just moves the transparency from the Frame text block (where it cannot exist) to the image itself. Van
