Inserting a graphic with a transparent background and preserving the transparancy

[Julian Milano]

I'm trying to insert a graphic created in PS which has a transparent
background, into a textbox which has a grey fill colour as a background.

When I insert the image, the image's background is white. Can someone help?

Regards

Julian

Hi Julian,

Not all versions of Word support transparent backgrounds, and then only in
GIF pictures, I believe.

I think Word 2002 does for GIF files.

Hi Julian,

In Word, you may want to try applying the 'transparency tool'
from the picture toolbar to an already inserted graphic as
well.
