Create a Text Box and type in your text. With the Text Box still selected,
go to Format menu>Text Box. In the dialog window that comes up, on the
Colors and Lines tab, change the Fill setting to No Fill and the Line
setting to No Line.
Thanks, it was not so obvious to guess that the items to choose in the
"fill" end line" panes were "coloiur", and then the choice for
"coloiur" "no coloiur"..
