Import image to Publisher

[sheri-chan]

Hello,

Before I present my next challenge, I wanted to thank you all for solving my last problem. Your help is invaluable.

This time, I have created a simple sketch of a flower in Xara. I want to export the image from Xara to Microsoft Publisher. I tried this by just cut and pasting, however, the image in publisher suddenly acquires a white background box. I went back to the original image in Xara and checked, but it doesn't seem to have a white background in Xara. Am I missing something here? I checked out previous posts about eliminating backrounds etc, and learned some new things but as my image doesn't seem to have a background until it gets to Publisher, I am at a loss as to how to resolve this.

Well, thank you in advance. Have a great day everyone.

Sheri
PS - I attached the image just in case (and yes, I know I can't draw, but I teach primary school kids, so they won't care as long as it's colourful!!)
