To give an image a transparent background
1. Select the GIF picture by clicking on it. Note: You cannot make JPEG quality pictures into transparent images.
2. Click the Set Transparent Color button on the Image toolbar. The cursor will turn into a pencil icon.
3. Position the pencil icon over the color you want to make transparent (invisible). Click the color. The color becomes transparent.

You can "interlace" your GIF images to create a special visual effect. With an interlaced image, your Web site visitors will see pictures fade into view. The image looks blurry at first, and then it comes gradually into focus while the download is completed. Without interlacing, the picture slowly fills in line by line from the top to the bottom.

To interlace an image:

1. Place the pointer on the image and right click your mouse button. A pop up menu appears.
2. Click on Picture Properties. The Picture Properties dialog box appears.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Click the Interlaced check box.
5. Click OK in the Picture Properties dialog box

Animation effects can make a Web page more lively. You can animate text or images using Dynamic HTML (DHTML) which creates a special effect that looks like the words or images are bouncing, slipping, or spiraling onto your Web page. Your Web site visitors will only see this effect if they are using Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, or Netscape 4.0 or later.
