How do I give border art a transparent background in Publisher 07?
I have designed a card and I am wishing to use Border Art around a text box.
However, it seems to come complete with a white background (the Border Art I mean, not the text box - I know how to make a text box transparent) and I can see no way of turning this off and it's rather ruining my design. Is there any way I can get rid of the white around the border design? A screengrab can be provided if my description isn't explicit enough. Publisher 2007 on Windows XP Home SP2 Thanks

Draw a rectangle around the text box, select the rectangle, lines, more lines,
BorderArt. Send it to the back. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Miss P.T." wrote in message ...

Thank you for your reply, Mary, but this DOES NOT make the background of the border art transparent, I can still see the white background of the BA against the coloured background of my card. Am I not being explicit enough? Thanks very much for any further assistance.

Sorry about that,
Select the BorderArt, copy, paste special as a .png or .jpg or bitmap, select the new image, use the transparency tool on the picture toolbar. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Miss P.T." wrote in message news  "Mary Sauer" wrote: Draw a rectangle around the text box, select the rectangle, lines, more lines, BorderArt.

Well, that works - to a point - but the result is extremely fuzzy and pixellated. Any way of doing it and keeping the original clarity? I'm designing a card for a close friend and I want it to be my best work! Thanks very much!

Miss P.T.,You can also paste special as a .wmf, ungroup, delete the white parts,
regroup. A bit tedious. The best solution would be to go to the Office clipart site and select a new border. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Miss P.T." wrote in message ...
