Controls lose their Transparency?

I have created a word document which consists of a 3-column table. In the
middle column, each cell has 2 or three Option Buttons. This column is
shaded Blue. The Option Buttons have a white background which looks ugly in
a blue column so I changed the BackStyle property to frmBackStyleTransparent
so that the white background would not appear. It looks good now, but when I
exit Design Mode, the backgrounds of all the Options Buttons have gone back
to white (the default). If I change the background colour, it is that colour
that appears when I exit Design Mode.

Why is this happening?

Hi Thief_,

Because that's how the option buttons are designed to work in the Word
document environment.
