Transparent Text Box Over Another

[Cindy]

I am trying to place a semi-transparent text box over a
document. The problem is that the text in the underlying
boxes moves around the new box rather than staying fixed
where they are. How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Cindy

Yes, except my idea of a watermark is that it is semi-
tranparent and in the background. In this case, the text
box is semi-transparent in the foreground, with the text
not being transparent.

What it is, is a flyer for a house that was for sale. I
placed a text box with a white semi-transparent background
color over the flyer which reads "SOLD." I want the flyer
to show through somewhat, but the text in the boxes in the
background is wrapping around the new box in the
foreground.

Thanks,
Cindy

Besides Mary's answer, you can also copy the one Text Frame to clipboard,
then go to men EDIT > Paste Special > Paste as Picture. Then delete the
original Text Frame and you can place the now picture under the other Text
Frame.

Paste as Picture is a very useful not often used function.

Besides Ed's response, you can also use WordArt to get the same function.

Where did I figure in this again?

Did I miss something here? To prevent the text from wrapping all that is
necessary is to turn off text wrap. Format/Text Box/Layout/None.
