Cropped images in Powerpoint

Does anyone know a way to format a picture for pasting
into Powerpoint that when you paste it, it doesn't include
a frame...similar to pasting Autoshapes. Ex. You can
paste a star autoshape and you only see the star...the
area around the star is transparent. I'm trying to paste
a cropped object off an image file...but everytime I do,
you still get a white box around it.

Thanks!
 
I am not sure I understand correctly. I read your post differently than
Steve did.

This may be way off, but something to check never-the-less:
If your image comes in with a (powerpoint) outline (i.e. Choose Line Color -
No Line). If this fixes your problem, then all you need to do is make it No
Line once then Right-Click on the object and choose Set Autoshape Defaults.

The same may apply if what you are seeing is a Shadow instead of an outline.
 
This is like a Rorschach test -- each of us seeing something a little
different in the question than the other.

By any chance are you cropping the images outside of PowerPoint, copying
them,, then pasting them into PowerPoint, but not having the cropping hold?

Try save image to disk then Insert | Picture | From File
