SUMMARY
In most cases the automatic text-wrap feature in Microsoft Publisher will prevent text from overlapping. It is possible to create the effect of overlapped or superimposed text; however, to do so, the text must be in separate text frames.



MORE INFORMATION
To achieve the effect of overlapping text boxes, follow these steps:
 * 1) Draw a text frame in your publication, and insert your text.
 * 2) Click Format, and select Text Frame Properties.
 * 3) Click to clear the check mark from Wrap Text Around Objects, and click OK.
 * 4) Draw a second text frame that overlaps the first. Insert your text.
 * 5) Format the frame as transparent by pressing CRTL+T.
