Hi John,

Thanks, I’ve saved the file in .gif format and it seems to be working fine. Thanks for your help.

Hi Mark,

I did a little research online and it looks like Frontpage cannot handle transparency in PNG files properly. Here is the Microsoft link for a work-around.

I hope this helps,

Hi,

Great suggestion with powerpoint. The only issue I’m having is when I import the powerpoint-made png’s into frontpage, a one-pixel wide line appears around the image. Any idea why this occurs?

Thanks,
Mark

These are really useful! I didn’t realise you could actually come up with some decent images/icons in powerpoint!

Very nice, and best of all, I think this will work just fine for making “Beta” stars!

Thank you for the tutorial. This will be most helpful. Never thought about the obvious right in front of me of using PowerPoint. This is much better than putting people in an audience to sleep with an over abundance of slides.
I’ll try it out next week when I have some time.
