Jowday Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 If you convert at coloured shape to a textframe it maintains its fill colour - and there is no way to change it to transparent. In Designer it works as expected. "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

Jowday Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 May I suggest a shortcut to the text frame settings? I was looking after a standard UI shortcut - via right clicking the/any object. Even right clicking the layer doesn't offer any help, link or clue.
