4. Create graphics files with transparent
backgrounds. If a graphic you inserted has a colored background
you’d like to be transparent, locate a different file format or convert
the graphic to a format that supports transparent areas. (See tips)
Tips
• Graphic files that usually have transparent areas are vector: .eps, .emf, .wmf
• In Word, pictures are inserted at the top left corner of the page. The picture may be hidden
behind another graphic. To select the picture, move graphics on top out of the way and change
its wrapping style. (see instructions below).
• Graphic files that do not have transparent areas are bitmap: .jpg, .tif, .bmp
