How do i remove the background on a picture in powerpoint to make it transparent? There used to be a wand-function in Office 2003, this seems to have gone in 2007

RE: PowerPoint

Dear Nanna

Thank you for attending Excel Advanced course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

This option is still there. When you insert a picture I hope you are aware that a contextualized tab called Picture tools appears.

On the left hand side you will see Recolor drop down arrow.

Choose Set Transparent colour option which is the same as the pen you used to have in PowerPoint 2003.

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards

Microsoft office tip:

Prevent macros from running when you start Applications

Macros are automated programs that can help you speed up your work. They can be embedded in caommands like AutoExec which will make them run as soon as an application like MS Word or MS Access are launched.
Sometimes it is useful to be able to switch off this function, and then can be done by the following method.
Hold down the SHIFT key when you click on the icon to start the program. This will suppress any automated macros.
