-
Open the Format Picture Pane: You can open the Format Picture pane in a couple of ways:
- Right-click on the picture and select "Format Picture."
- With the picture selected, go to the "Format" tab that appears in the ribbon and click on the dialog box launcher (small arrow) in the lower-right corner of the "Size" group.
-
Adjust Transparency: In the Format Picture pane, locate the "Fill & Line" icon (it looks like a paint bucket). Click on it.
