How does one go about superimposing the second on top of the first so that the white background becomes transparent ?? I know it's easier to do in something like PSP, but it's supposed to be able to be performed in Word. Does anyone know how??	antmannz (28)

The files have been provided and are definitely bitmaps with no transparency info. It's got me beat, I keep saying it can't be done, but she says "then why would they ask it".	antmannz (28)
