Mathematica 8 Windows EMF/WMF export with transparent background?

Dear all
I'm developing a custom plotting function for my employer, 
incorporating all the little tweaks and standard formats they want. So 
far, so good. But they want to export WMF or EMF graphics into 
PowerPoint presentations that (for technical reasons to do with the 
screen in the Board room) have dark backgrounds. So they want the 
graphics to have transparent backgrounds. But the backgrounds of 
graphics exported as WMF/EMF have white backgrounds, even though the 
default for Export is meant to be Background->None.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to enforce the transparent 
background? I am having difficulties testing this myself because I'm 
developing on a Mac (thus no WMF/EMF export capability), and at the 
moment they haven't upgraded their Windows versions from 7.0.
Kind regards
Luci
