Is it possible to print transparent fills when using

When I create a fill while using a gradient shading color, then select for it
to be transparent, it will show it as transparent on the screen, but will not
print (nor print preview) the color as being transparent. Is there something
I can do so it will print transparent?

Thanks!

Using Publisher 2003, export your document as a PNG file at 300dpi (use the
button above the filename field to select your quality setting).

Then import this image into a new document with the same page setup, and
print this document.
