Creating Transparent Areas in a Graphic

If you insert a graphics file on a page, you can create transparent areas within the graphic. This is useful for removing an image's background. You can make any colour in a graphic transparent.

To create a transparent area in a graphic

1. Select the graphic.

2. Press the object's menu arrow and then select Set Picture Transparency.

The Picture Transparency dialogue box appears.

3. Press any areas in the graphic that you want to make transparent.

NOTE: Pressing an area makes only that area transparent, even if the graphic includes that same colour in other areas.

4. Press OK.
