Help Removing White Background from Logo Created in Publisher 200

*Posting to this Page because I believe this is more of a General Question*
Hi I run a small website and am sorta OK/Good with Publisher but still
Amatuer on more advanced things. I have no advertising buget so primarily
make all my own marketing materials myself in publisher or word.
I need help removing the white background from a logo I created in Microsoft
Publisher 2007. Whenver I go to post the current logo file saved as a JPEG
onto a website the logo shows up along with the white background. How do I
remove this white background from the file so that wherever i post it you
only see the desired logo image.
I tried to save only the image as a photo by clicking the "CTRL" button and
clicking on the the two objects that make up the logo and then clicking save
as a photot. But it saved the picture as a PNG file. Then when I went to
upload it to the webpage instead of a white background it had a Black
Background. What am I doing wrong?
Please help

I posted a similar question a while back and got a helpful response from Rob
Giordano
"you need to save ONLY the logo object(s) as a jpg not the entire page.
and any time you resize it you should be holding Shift key and grabbin a
corner handle to keep the aspect ratio the same.

Rob or anyone else with experience in the issuse please help me correct this
problem. Thanks

Here is one way of doing it:

Using the program InfanView open the logo image file and then save it as a
gif, jpg or png but note the Save options box that will open to the right of
the work area. Check the transparent color box and the sub choice, "Choose
transparent color during saving". Click Save and choose the white area with
the mouse pointer. The white area should now be transparent.

HI Don, I tried it and it worked. While Im not quite sure how it happened, it
did work. After I changed the file from JPEG to GIFF. I thank you for the
suggestion. And oh now I have anew program I have to learn and look more
into. But for now it actually worked.
Still I would like to know is it possible to save a file in Publisher
without the white background on it or Black background on it and post it
without having to do the coversion?
Or is the Conversion the Key to making it work correctly?
Also should I not be saving files as JPEGs?
let me know,

Hey Don Schmidt, Question on Infranview, I used these steps to take the white
border off of a version 2 of the logo created in Publisher but this time it
didn't work. I saved the file as a GIF while in Publisher. Then I opened the
file with INfranview and clicked Save As, then I choose GIFF and followed the
steps you said. And clicked the white area during saving and nothing
happened. Can you help or maybe explain if i'm missing any steps? thanks,
