If the "white box" you refer to is a textbox then all you need to do
is select and right click the textbox, choos "Format textbox", Colors
and LinesFillColorNo fill.

And No Line as well, since text boxes by default have a 0.75-point outline.

I thought that a default textbox was actually a white borderless boxes
packed in a clear box defined using a 0.75 point outline ;-)

Not really. What you seem to be describing is the effect of the text box
margins. If you have text boundaries displayed, you'll see a dotted line
defining the text area inside the text. If you reduce the inner margins to
zero, the dotted line will be coincident with the outline. A text box is an
AutoShape and, as such, is really no different from a rectangle on which you
have used "Add Text."

In any event, there is an outline that will have to be removed if you want
text to float, unencumbered, over a graphic.
