I know there are a squllion web sites that seem to cover the transparent topic but I cant find a simple step-by-step method

I want to make a line of text on a rectangular frame, save it as a PNG file and have it appear with a transparent background in an application that is able to work with transparent PNG’s

Please can somebody guide me? Literally, what buttons and menu to select.

just make sure that your text is on its own layer….delete the background layer…(things should be transparant now)….and hit save as….png….

but note….pngs are not recommended for web work as most browsers do not recognize them yet…but they are fine for ppt, word, director etc…

hope that helps
