PPT97: TARGA Transparency Information Ignored
This article was previously published under Q167092
SYMPTOMS
If you import a TARGA (.tga) file that contains transparency (alpha
channel) information into PowerPoint 97, it appears opaque. In contrast,
if you import a CompuServe GIF (.gif) or Portable Network Graphics (.png)
file that contains transparency information, it appears transparent.
CAUSE
The TARGA import filter that ships with PowerPoint 97 and Office 97 does
not support transparency. The GIF and PNG import filters do support
transparency.
WORKAROUND
You can use the Set Transparent Color button on the Picture toolbar or
Microsoft Photo Editor to make any image transparent. For more
information on doing this, please see the following article in the

and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
