Description vksalian 2009-10-06 19:48:25 UTC 
Dear Sir,

I was experimenting on usage of transparent images in OpenOffice.Org writer
software, for some purpose. I am using version 3.1.1 (Debian - Ubuntu).

My problem:

When I inserted a .gif format transparent image into a document (document was in
.doc format), I could see the transparent property of the image. i.e. any object
(text or image) was visible through the transparent image. But when I saved and
closed then again re-opened the document, the image lost its transparency and it
appeared as if it is a Square box filled with  white. No transparency of the image.

Please let us know if I were wrong somewhere.

Please provide a sample file to evaluate. Thanks.

Problem is not that the transparency is lost - Writer sets background color
"white" for the graphic.
See issue 43371.

in version 2.2 if a background is set to a % of transparency, it copies over
into PDF file. With the 3.0 and higher, the transparency % is lost and the
background is at full color. Is there a way to fix OR get 2.2 loaded on a Vista
computer?
