I have some transparent signatures in PNG, Gif and BMP form which have persistent partial or full borders. These were created a few years ago in PSE 5 I think and have been used in emails and MS Word documents and I can't recall seeing these dratted borders in the past. Just checking, I find they are not present in email documents but they are there in Libre office documents! Is there some way to remove them? I have tried all sorts of options in Libre Office and irritatingly, when viewing the image's properties and selecting the "Image" tab, the damned border is not there! Possibly it is a peculiarity of Libre Office, but I would be grateful to hear if anyone has had this problem and managed to overcome it.  |

One thought I had is to print your document from Libre Office. If it shows up on the paper the border is really there, otherwise likely an artifact of Libre.

Hi Tpgettys and Sepiana, I didn't find the post Sepiana links to when I searched their site, but had already tried selecting "None" from the dropdown list on the "Borders" tab of the image properties and it failed to remove it.
I eventually managed to work around it by cropping the borders out in the document, which worked but it's not very elegant as a solution!
I later received a reply on the LibreOffice Forum as I had also posted there for help.
Like Tpgettys, they too feel it is an artifact and suggest looking at the "Print preview" for confirmation.
Thankfully it does disappear, so thanks for that, you were on the money!
I'm constantly finding new things about LibreOffice Writer, I usually save documents in the ".docx" filetype of which there are two options.
the one I normally use is the "Word 2007-365 (*docx) but for some reason that doesn't save the inserted image.
I have now changed to using the other option "Office Open XML Text (*.docx)" which I have found will save the document complete with inserted image!

Sorry, you couldn't find the post I was talking about. Here is a screen shot of it.

No Sepiana, your link worked perfectly but unfortunately the solution that worked for the OP didn't work for me.
I had already tried that myself before reading your link.
I too had been searching the "ask.libreoffice.org" website and I didn't see that post which you found!
