[The Rhino]

Could somebody help me? I am trying to insert pictures with transparent
backgrounds into a Power Point presentations. It seams that no matter what I
do, I get the dreaded white box around the picture. I am editing the picture
in Photoshop and transferring into Power Point. I remove the back ground and
poof the border is still there. It don't matter which format I use it still
get the background. Please help. I have to have 5 presentations done in
less than one month and am really running out of time. as they each contain
a lot of information, pictures and slide. Please help

You need to save the images as PNG in Photoshop. JPG doesn't maintain
transparency.
