Make object fade from solid to transparent

Asked by mayday175 in Microsoft Visio, Graphics, Photos & Graphics Software

Tags: microsoft, visio, 2007

How do I make an object/stencil fade from solid to transparent (ie. solid on the left to transparent on the right?

I have an object (a Network Locations - Cloud stencil) that goes off the right hand edge of the page. When printed, this object it is cut at the page boundary and doesn't look very professional. I have tried to overlay this object with a white square that fades from transparent to solid white (at the page edge) as per instructions here (http://blogs.msdn.com/saveenr/archive/2008/02/06/visio-2007-trick-transparent-gradients.aspx) in order to soften the page boundary when printed. On the screen this object appears to fade to white ok (ie. the same colour as the paper), but it does not print this way.

I figure the fix for this is get rid of the white overlay and make the original object (the cloud stencil) fade to transparent. Is it possible to add a gradient to make this object/stencil transparent on one side? I have saved this object as an SVG and opened it in Inkscape, but cos of the different gradients within the sub-objects of this stencil, I can't make it behave as I'd like. Anyone have any ideas?
