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 color in a graphic transparent.

A dialog box appears.

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