I have managed to manipulate the original image to create a transparent background, but when I save as GIF there is no 'transparency' box as you describe. Hence the d**n thing goes back to white again ...

OK.  In PS: File/New. Set Width, Height & Resolution to be compatible to the
image on which you want a transparent area.. Set Color Mode to 'RGB Color',
'8 bit'. Set Background contents to 'Transparent'.

Open your image to be converted. Select the area that you want to be opaque.
Edit/Copy then switch to the new 'transparent' file. Edit/Paste. Then
File/Save As and select Format as gif and make sure the 'Transparency' box
is ticked and Robert's is your mother's brother.

But, having converted it to GIF, how do I then change the background from white to transparent?
