how to make a transparent button

Have you tried right-clicking on the button and selecting "Format Shape."  Then, on the fill tab you can add transparency.

However, not sure I understand why you mean by "on the existing texts"?  Do you want the button, except for the button text, to be transparent?

Hello,

You can just insert a button - format accordingly by adjusting transparency.

Hi Zhenyu,

I'm not entirely sure I fully understand what you are trying to do, but you can make the fill of a button transparent by right-clicking on it, selecting 'format shape' and then setting the transparency to 100% on the 'fill' tab.

Thanks, Antony and Donna! This is helpful.

Thanks, Gerry! I want to have a transparent button with no text on a line of text.... Hope I am not confusing you

This is very  helpful. I fell into the trap of trying to make the button without fill or line thinking that would be transparent. In the player- the user clicking on the button still gave the button color.

So glad that you were able to find what you needed here, Tara.
