I've developed some bubble charts for my company but I am having problems
formatting the print outs. Basically, when viewing on a PC, the labels in
the charts appear to be formatted correctly to match the background color
of
whatever it is on. However, when I print out the charts, the text box the
labels were created on show up with a white background.

Is there a way to make the background of the text box transparent so it
does
not mess up the look of the charts. You should know that I did not create
the text boxes the labels appear on. It is just the normal labels the
wizard
creates when making the charts.

Thanks for your help. -RA
