How to Remove a White Background on a Picture in Microsoft Word

1. Click on the picture. A 'Format' tab will appear on the toolbar at the top of the screen underneath 'Picture Tools.'
2. Click on the 'Format' tab.
3. Click 'Color' on the 'Adjust' group on the left side of the toolbar in Word 2010. In Word 2007, click 'Recolor' instead, as the toolbar is slightly different.
4. Select 'Set Transparent Color.'
5. Click the color on the part of the picture that you would like to be transparent. The program will make all of that color transparent so that you should be able to see text or other pictures behind the picture.
