I made a drawing in power point and saved as a jpeg. I want to use it in
other presentations. When I insert it, there is a white background box that
covers the existing background in the new presentation. How to I get rid of
that "background box"?

Hi,

Dunno, but have you tried saving it as another image format?

You will need to save your drawing either as a GIF file, or a PNG file, and
make the background transparent. Might be easier to just copy your slide
from one presentation to another

Thanks! I actually discovered this on my own after posting. (Save as .gif,
inserted in new presentation and was able to use the picture toolbar "set
transparent color" tool.) Thanks, again. This is my first time using MS
online and I really didn't think it would work. Go figure
