making scanned signatures transparent

I have a scanned signature that I brought into a publisher document. The
place where the signature was placed had color in in so the scanned signaure
had a "white box" around it. I was unable to go to the drawing tool bar &
click transparent and remove the white box the was around the signature. Is
there anything I can do to remove the white box?

Fill the space with the color of the stationary.

Not in Publisher, no. I *do* wish people would learn the difference between
a publishing application and a graphics editor. You would need to load the
image in a graphics app and set white to transparent (I use Paint Shop Pro).

I think you hit the nail on the head. My brain isn't moving. At least that
side of my brain. Been fairly well with numbers over the years. No use
trying for a perfect year now. Break out the Chianti....

But.. recent versions of publisher CAN do this. On the
Image Toolbar, there's a "Set Transparent Color". Click
it, then click the part of your image that you would
like to be transparent.
