Define bitmap transparency

When you define a transparent color in a bitmap, the window background or any objects behind the bitmap shows through it everywhere the transparent color is used. You can define only one transparent color per image.

Create a transparent bitmap

1. With the bitmap selected, select the Transparent Color button On the Draw menu, in the Format group to open the transparent color palette.

2. Right-click a color square in the Custom Palette. The Edit Custom Color dialog box appears.

3. Select the eye dropper tool.

4. Select the color in the bitmap that you want to make transparent. The color is copied to the color square that you selected in the color palette.

5. Select the color square to apply the transparent color to the bitmap. All the pixels in the image that are that color become transparent.
