When I use either the Artistic text tool or the Frame text tools, I begin by selecting one, then drawing out a rough-sized text box to put text in. That's when the problem crops up. The BACKGROUND is filled with white and the text is default black. I have no problem with black text, ’cos it's gonna be changed later anyway. The Big Quextion is as follows:

How I got rid of dem WHITE BACKGROUND FILL BOX COLOR, hanh? Looking thru the Menu choices produces no clue as to Remove Paper Color, Remove Background Color, or anything else. It has not always been this way - and it happens in Designer and Photo, not just one.

NotMyFault … thanks for that. I'm a bit puzzled because this color-behind-the-text is something that only recently began to occur. Until about three weeks ago, I could draw out a text box (Frame or Artistic) and enter black text with NO background coloration and modify it as needed. Not now. So far as I know, I haven't made any changes in the Prefs for Designer or Photo (it occurs in both now) to initiate this behavior. It's quite crazy-making. A quick check of the Preferences in both reveals no ‘secret sauce’ that can be used to remove the BG color, either. Thanks again for the link.
