I want to make an HTML text box transparent so that just the type can be seen when it is placed ‘over’ a background image. In other words I want the image to appear behind the type. Help much appreciated.

As long as you are working in the CSS Positioned mode, then this is the default behavior. Draw a graphic box, fill it with an image. Draw an HTML box, fill it with some text. Drag the HTML box over the top of the graphic box. Preview – you should see your text overlaying the image. Note that while you are editing (text cursor in the HTML box) you will see a white background. The moment you click elsewhere (or preview), you will see the actual text-over-image you are looking for.
If you are in Table Positioned mode, then HTML boxes cannot layer over the top of anything else without cutting a hole through that other object.
One other thing you might try, though, is to add your image as a background image of the HTML box. Then, no matter how it is positioned on the page, any HTML text (or inline graphics) within that box will layer over the background image automatically.
