How do you make a text box hide the grid lines behind it on a graph? The
grid lines are still visible and run through the text box, cluttering it up.

Thanks
 
right-click text box
choose -- 'Format Text Box' from shortcut menu
colors and lines tab
change fill color to white

Sorry, I used the Reply button instead of Reply Group before.

Thanks for your quick answer. I should have mentioned that I am using Excel
2000. I don't have a colors and lines tab, only color, and changing that to
white doesn't work!

Two of the boxes I put on this graph last year hide the grid lines, but not
this one.

Help!

Hi Drew,

when you select the textbox, click on its BORDER -- it's pattern should
change from parallel lines to hatched lines -- then set the Fill color
to white ... does that work?

Crystal -

When I click on the edge and then go to format, I get a menu box called
"Background". It then gives three choices: Opaque, Transparent and
Automatic. When I select Opaque, the box becomes opaque as one might guess!
Thank you so much!
