=======================================
I'm thinking your best bet would be to use an
image editing program to prepare your image.

For example...in MSPicture It! you would simply
go to...Soft Edges...and drag the slider to the
desired transparency.

Publisher 2003 has a transparency option, you can put a wide, white
border around the image and give it about 50% transparency. See
attached.

But it might not print properly.

Use a image editing program and not a desktop publishing one to
accomplish the job. Would you use a wrench to drive nails or a
screwdriver to try to pull them out? Try PhotoShop or Photo Elements,
Paint Shop Deluxe or Serif PhotoPlus, or one of the myriad other image
editing programs available.
