Hi Patti,

If you use View=Toolbars=Picture (it normally
comes up on its own when you select a picture
in a document) you'll see a tool that looks like
a pencil eraser. That's the transparency tool.
If you 'swipe' it over the white area around the
Texas map it will allow text to be seen through that
area when you put the graphic in a layout wrap such
as In front of text.

There can be differences in inserting graphics from
the clipboard, dragging and inserting/linking from a
saved diskfile as the first two can embed links to
the original source (if from, for example, a web page)
or a link to the original editing app, which can be
useful for editing a frequently changing or not yet
final graphic, but can also grow the file size of the
Word document.

Hi Bob
First, using Photoshop as the editor, I clicked the move tool and dragged
the image into Word. When I clicked edit wrap points I got the handles
still
keeping the white space.

After your email, I tried clicking on the red edit wrap points box around
the image and see you can add and move those points!!! I did not know
that.
I have tried it on other shapes and success. I also tried it on the Texas
image you suggested and it worked too. Thanks so very much!!

Do you think it makes a difference to cut and paste or insertPictureFrom
File?

I do not know what you mean by the Picture toolbar transparency tool. I
do
not find it in help on Word or Photoshop?
Thanks again for your help.
Patti
