Is this going to be fixed anytime soon? I have nearly a hundred Word files that rely on transparency in text boxes. This capability is important because it is this cpability that allows Word to be used as a lightweight page layout program for generating things like product sheets, flyers, etc. Often, there is a need to overlay text on top of graphics or a gradient background, something that is not possible unless text boxes can have transparent backgrounds. (I filed issue 4932, which is marked as a duplicate of this one, but it's not clear if any corrective action will be taken.)

We've implemented the ability to do this recently, will work in (to be built) SRX643d build, the word import export is also implemented to use it.

Checked it with srx643f. This "new feature" will be available with OpenOffice 643.
Works in OpenOffice 643C
