Hi, Elysia.  New Dawn Micro has a great tutorial on creating transparent
GIFs in PSP 5.  You can find it at:
http://home.gzinc.com/newdawn/tutorials/transgif.html

Another terrific resource is the Paint Shop Pro Users' Forum.  You can get
nearly immediate answers from other users just by posting a message.  You
can get to this forum here:

While I couldn't help you directly, I hope you will find these links useful.
:)

Deborah
