[mso] Re: PowerPoint

Glenda,
What version of PPT are you using? Transparent gifs only work in PPT 2000
and later. If you are using one of those versions and it still isn't
working, try saving the image as a transparent PNG instead of a gif - PPT
tends to like them better.

In a PowerPoint slide I am attempting to put a transparent GIF of the
word SAMPLE so one can still see the background text behind the image
but it doesn't seem to work.  The image ends up hiding the background
text and appears solid rather than transparent.  It seems like a simple
thing but I gotta get this for a presentation tomorrow afternoon.  Any
suggestions appreciated. /g
