lightbulbt.gif   Tip: When placing type over a colored box, make separate objects for the box and the type. Text boxes should have a minimum clearance of one x-height below the lowest descender of any character on the bottom line of the text box (otherwise it may drop out altogether when output). This will usually place the bottom of the text box below the bottom boundary of the background color.

106. Type the text "55" in the text box. This is dummy text for position only. It will appear in the document when the master page is applied. Then you will edit this text in the document (not the master).
