That is what I want but I must be being extremely dense, I open up a jpeg in photoshop delete the background, save as a transparent gif, insert into word but pic still comes out as a rectangle so when I set to "tight" text wraps around the rectangle not the shape, pic seems to retain a background, I have also opened a new blank canvas with transparent background and dragged a cut out to that saves as transparent gif same result! Ditto in powerpoint. I feel pretty stupid that I can't figure this out. Fusion your example is exactly what I am trying to acheive.
