Help with Power Point - Mac to PC
When I place an Photoshop outlined jpeg in Power Point (Mac) it is knocked out and can be placed on any color background. When I send the same logo to a PC user the logo is always on a white background. What can I do on my end to give them a "transparent" logo? Or what can they do on their end?

1. Disclaimer: I've not tried this on a PC since I no longer own one, however,
on my Mac when using InDesign, a .psd with no background shows up as a transparency in InDesign; and when I upload .png to cafepress with no background, it shows up as a transparency..you could try those file formats to see what happens in PPT...also look around the help files in PPT and see if there is a way to set a background as transparency. With Microsoft products, you never know what will work and what won't...it seems every task is an experiment!

Good Luck!

2. Try PNG with alpha channel - save it w/o the background layer showing in PS.
That should do it.

Good luck.
