Question
I'm having trouble with transparency in a table that I created using Adobe InDesign. I would like the color of the table to be transparent but the text within the table solid color. Thanks :)

Answer
eeee...ya...

you can't do that. Indesign treats it as one object. Now, the silly way is to make a square that is the same size as the table, stick it behind the table, and make the square transparent. Group when your done so you don't have to move it separately. You should be able to fix the numbers if need be as well, just use the text tool.
