How to create a textframe with white background

[Nashorn]

I want to lay a white paper with a black text over an image.

Is it possible to create a textframe with a white (paper) background?

I think I realized it once but I cannot repeat it again. I help myself by grouping a textframe with a white rectangle of the same size.

Is there a better way?

Thanks

Use the text frame panel to do this.

Thank you very much!

After an intensiv study of the Studiomenu I also found the reason, where sometimes all my tools disappear. I tipped by mistake surface on/off with command-tab.
