Re: Word 2004 Equations at 100% bright are no longer invisible

Wouldn't it work if you set the transparency to 100%?

Setting embedded equations to 100% bright makes them
invisible in Normal and Page Layout views, and in Word's Print
Preview, but print as bright blue boxes. Printing to PDF gives
the same result i.e.bright blue boxes in the PDF. There appears
to be one for each character, the size and position of the
character, suggesting a background colour in a box bounding
the characters.

Setting 100% brightness for an embedded clip art image also
gives a visible printed image - in this case, when printed the
image
is a version of the original with different shades of blue
fill.

I've just migrated from OS 9 and Office 2000 with Acrobat,
where I'd been using this approach for several years to prepare
"fill
in the blanks" style lecture notes from complete originals.
There it
worked fine - nice blank areas where the equations are there
but
invisible. As a workaround, I can overlay white rectangles from
the
Drawing module in Page Layout view, but this is a considerable
pain compared to setting the equations to 100% bright and using
"Repeat command".

Is there a way to get invisible pictures in Word 2004 under OS
X 10.4?
