Hi mook-

It depends on the version of Word & the type of image, as well as the nature
of the 'background' you want to get rid of.

IF a more current version of Word (2002, 2003, not sure about 2000) AND the
background is a solid color, you _may_ have succes if you;

1- select the image,
2- make sure the Picture Toolbar is active,
3- use the Set Transparent Color tool on the picture to click the background.

Also, if there is a fair amount of the background color in the image you
will probably loose that, too. How badly that hurts the appearance will vary.

Should the tool not be active or _any_ of the conditions above not be met,
JoAnn's reply pretty much sums up your options.
