How do I remove the background color from text?

If I accidentally click a color for the text background color, how do I change it back? Once you pick a color, there is no longer a transparent option and Marketo doesn't give you a undo button? The only option I see, is deleting the text box, and starting all over. Nothing with this product is simple, clear or easy. Frustrated.

The white box in the pallet = a clear background...Stick with Marketo it Rocks!

Thanks Mark, but that does not work.. it just places white behind the text... not clear.

I just had to delete and start all over....no forgiveness for mistakes in Marketo :(

Going forward, you could just edit the html and add the transparency that way. Would look something like this:

<p style="background-color: transparent;"> **Your text here** </p>

An undo button would be a nice feature as well...I'm sure there's an idea for it that you can vote on.

Thanks Keith.  

(If there are any Marketo product people listening... I still wish Marketo was simple to use...it can't be that hard to add a 'remove background color option')
