There is a shareware (or Freeware) called Transparency that will change your background color (in your case white) to "transparent". Actually all it does is change your background to the same color of gray as Web pages. You can get this same effect by creating a similar gray in Photoshop and applying it to your background.
Good Luck. Lisa
