Include transparent picture in Word 2002
How can we use includepicture (or alternative) to include a picture with a transparent background, maintaining the transparency? We can create the picture in any format required before including it.
ASKER
That is not an INCLUDEPICTURE method.

We need to have one source file that is accessed by many documents, so any alternative to the INCLUDEPICTURE method would still need to be a way of 'including' a picture, essentially meaning linking to it, rather than pasting it.

just tried to include a picture with transparent background, a white square background appears around the picture and set transparent color doesn't seem to work on white color.
try opening the picture in mspaint and setting the background to black using the fill with color tool then back in word use the includepicture and then use the set transparent color option and select the black background that was adden in mspaint

sorry, my previous comment was posted before reading your comment
