Want to get rid of that tacky background?

Have you ever inserted an image in Word or PowerPoint that had a background that you wanted to get rid of? Well here is one way to do just that!


After you have inserted the image:

1. Select the image
2. Select the Picture Tools Format tab at the top
3. Click on the Recolor button in the top left corner
4. Choose Set Transparent Color
   
5. Click on the background of the image

Voilà! Your unwanted background is now invisible!

Note: In order for this to work, the background must be a solid color, and that color cannot be inside the part of the image you want to keep.
