Adam, I'm trying to figure this out also. And I get what you are saying.

I hunted down the oldest set of instructions (for students) that I have and
the instructions were dated for Feb of 2002 (actually evolved earlier but we
may only be talking a month or two). So its possible that we are dealing
with 2002 s/w to now (2004). We stay very current with s/w and h/w. But
here's the catch. The instructions (made for many students to use, 4 to 6
classes per quarter, in flights of 4 quarters a year for at least two years
now) are exactly as I have indicated in previous replies. I haven't got that
wrong and the right click save as picture (JPG) has always been the written
instruction as well as the taught method (for making quick banners to be
usede in html files). We are talking about 100-130 students doing this per
quarter, for eight quarters (with no problems, none).

Now all of a sudden, there is a problem (the black background thing) and you
are stating that WordArt has always behaved this way. I'm as surprised as
you are. I don't have an answer. (I have not missed Sonia's input or
suggestions either).

I do know, understand, and teach transparencies & background colors and
images - that is not an issue here, but proper for you to bring up as it is
relevant.

I would like to suggest that the JPG save should behave as I have suggested
and leave it at that. I'll continue to point out the advantages and
disadvanteages of each save as format and that's the best I can do for the
student.

Thank You, Dennis
