As mentioned in the other post, if you are mainly wanting the graph inside the LV panel to be transparent, use the transparent color in the coloring tool. If you want this to go through the clipboard, you may need to do a few other things. The Classic graph will copy to the clipboard as an enhanced metafile whereas the fancier 3D graph will copy as a bitmap. So, you may need to replace your graph with a classic graph. Then when you take the ehanced metafile to Word or powerpoint or whatever, it will be more editable. In Word or Powerpoint, you can Edit Image and recolor, retype, or even delete portions such as the rectangle. Greg McKaskle
