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
