Question
Glen,

I am trying to place our logo in a powerpoint presentation. The imported logo has a white box around it. This seems to be a very common problem. How do I resolve this issue?

many thanks

Gary

Answer
Hi Gary,

Select the white area around your logo with the magic wand tool, invert the selection and make it a working path. Save the path and then make it a clipping path.
Save your logo as a photoshop eps file.

Hope this helps,
