making scanned signatures transparent

[Administrative Assistant S]

I have a scanned signature that I brought into a publisher document. The
place where the signature was placed had color in in so the scanned signaure
had a "white box" around it. I was unable to go to the drawing tool bar &
click transparent and remove the white box the was around the signature. Is
there anything I can do to remove the white box?

Not in Publisher, no. I *do* wish people would learn the difference between
a publishing application and a graphics editor. You would need to load the
image in a graphics app and set white to transparent (I use Paint Shop Pro).

Station*e*ry, Don. Station*a*ry means not moving. ;o)

But.. recent versions of publisher CAN do this. On the
Image Toolbar, there's a "Set Transparent Color". Click
it, then click the part of your image that you would
like to be transparent.
