Textbox with Fill effect, Word 2003

[Mike]

Hi! I need to build a textbox/box with Fill effect in such a way that the top
will start with white and gradually changes to gray. At the bottom of this
textbox I will display a label with transparent background or some text in
case if a textbox. The box must be able to resize based on the size of the
section it's in.

I am wandering if creation of such textbox or box is possible with the fill
effect I described? I am going nowhere trying to figure out how to do it.

What are my options? Is it possible at all, if so, how? Can it be done in
VB-6/C# and displayed in Word ?

Many Thanks in Advance,

Select the textbox. Display the properties dialog for it. Display the
drop-down for the fill color. Select 'Fill effects...' Select the gradient
tab. Select 'two colors'. etc.
