Text background mask

Recommended Posts

I have found where / how to apply a background mask to text (listed in the properties box when I highlight text). The list of fill colors does not include white. I was hoping to create a background mask that did not add a shaded box to a black and white print but simply blocked out the contents behind the text. That last sentence made sense in my head...I'm hoping it makes sense to someone else.:?

 

I am using 2010 LT if this makes a difference. Thanks, in advance, for any help you can provide!

I'm on LT and you can do that by selecting Background as the colour. You can also do that to dimensions as well, I select FILL COLOR->Background from the properties panel for individual dims.

No worries, I tend to do that in shops

 

"Excuse me I can't find the sugar"

 

"It's behind you sir"

 

Much worse!

 

BTW I found the setting to use background masks on dims.
