4. Create graphics files with transparent 
backgrounds. If a graphic you inserted has a colored 
background you’d like to be transparent, locate a different 
file format or convert the graphic to a format that supports 
transparent areas. (See tips)
Tips
• Graphic files that usually have transparent areas are vector: .eps, .emf, .wmf
• In Word, pictures are inserted at the top left corner of the page. The picture may 
be hidden behind another graphic. To select the picture, move graphics on top 
out of the way and change its wrapping style. (see instructions below).
• Graphic files that do not have transparent areas are bitmap: .jpg, .tif, .bmp
