Not sure if this is what you want, but i'll have a go anyway. Ok, step 1. Load the image you want into paint. Step 2. Click the button on the toolbar on the toolbox (left side of the screen) which is at the top of the second collumn of tools (it should be a box surrounded by a dashed line) Step 3. Underneath all the buttons in the toolbox two boxes will appear that look like this: Click on the bottom one Step 3. Click the bottom of these two boxes Step 4. Drag a box using the cursor around your image Step 5. You can now drag, cut and paste, copy and paste or do whatever you want with the selected image. So long as the white parts on it haven't been painted on there by you, it shouldn't have a background when you put it where you want it to go Phew! I hope that helped. Feel free to ask me any other questions if you are still unsure what to do.
