  1. Draw a text frame in your publication, and insert your text.
  2. On the Format menu, click Text Frame Properties.
  3. Click to clear the Wrap Text Around Objects check box, and click OK.
  4. Draw a second text frame that overlaps the first. Insert your text.
  5. To format the frame as transparent, press CRTL+T.
