Go to View/Black and White.
Then right-click the image and go to B/W Settings.

See if one of the options there lets you do what you want.

If not, you can try using the transparency wand on the Picture toolbar. See
if that makes the grey area transparent in the places you need it to be
transparent (white). It may, it may not, depending on the image.

Alternatively, open the image in an image editor and create a transparent
area as opposed to a white background. (I don't know if you can do this in
MS Paint or not, to tell the truth.) Save as PNG or TIF and reinsert that
image into PPT.
