Transparent Background with solid type?

[lena_shore@adobeforums.com]

I know I can have a 50% transparent shape with a text box over it that has 100% black type by just stacking them… but is there a way I can combine these two things into a single object style?

Doesn't seem like something InDesign can do. Any ideas?

Thanks

P.S. I am using CS2 4.0

Not this version.

Maybe we can hope for it in CS3.

Thanks!
