Inserting a vignetted picture into a text box.
Not sure how to explain just what I want. I have a picture of a vehicle with a vignette around the exterior of the vehicle, and I wish to insert this picture under text inside a text box, but do not want the white background beyond the vignette the to show. There must be a simple option and have been through all the 'layout options' with no joy. Any ideas appreciated, or is it beyond the capabilities of Word?

Hi Doug.
I am using 'Word' and have saved as a Gif but unable to follow your instructions. Can you elaborate please.Cheers,
