internal margins on a text box

Is there a way to have the internal margins on a text box default to 0? And
perhaps to also default to a background color or prespecified color?
I have a background on my webpage that consists of more than one color. I
want my text boxes to be in the color of one of them.
I am using Front Page 2002 (XP)

Don't use text boxes. These are VML graphics which only render in
Internet Explorer running on Windows. Other browsers will render either
nothing at all, or as a poor .gif image.
See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/vml-graphics.htm for details.

You can change the background of the text box, its borders, and the
colour of the margin.
Click the edge of the box and choose Format textbox - change the border
line colour and thickness, and the fill (which sets the margin colour).
Click the middle of the textbox and change the table properties - change
the table background colour, which will overlay the textbox fill.

OK, no text box then :)

So I make up my 'text box', change it into a .jpg or .gif & insert it as a
picture on the webpage?

No.
Use a table or divs to lay out your page. Whatever you would have
placed in the textbox - place in a table cell or div. Text in images is
not accessible, and cannot be seen by search engines.
