...but with other paint programs, u have to make the transparent areas a colour that isn't used elsewhere (otherwise they will become transparent too)
usually silly colours like lime green, hot pink, purple etc. anything that stands out and isn't too close to other colours used already
then you have to convert the image to palatted, so that there is a colour table...now when you save the image as a gif, you should be able to save as a tranparent gif, and select the colour from the table which will become the transparent colour
check out www.isonews.com adobe 7 is out and floating in cyberspave waiting for electro groovy people to snag it. I would never consider doing such a thing of course
