How can I copy and Image from Gimp over to Powerpoint while

[WeptOver]

transparency files are gif (low), png (medium), and eps (high quality)

test some of the clip art that comes with office ,and view file format, probably gif or png,
files like tif, jpg, bmp, are not transparent,

Powerpoint (when you insert file, right click for edit options)
hxxp: office. microsoft. com / en-us / powerpoint / default. aspx
images listed are jpg and wmf windows metafile / semi vector format,
hxxp: www. wikipedia. org / wiki / Windows_Metafile
the metafile is more compatible and transparent for Office use,

if you are using png of gif, that do work, test file pp-slide for appearance, if other users try to re-edit, those file may create glitches, so if you have png, convert as wmf and test again,

Gimp ~image editor,
hxxp: gimp-win. sourceforge. net / stable. html
gimp does not have wmf export or plugin, use png or eps,

Inkscape illustrator has import for wmf and export via python plugin, ~ try saving export as png if used,
hxxp: www. inkscape. org / screenshots / index. php?lang=en

PhotoPlus opens wmf, but not transparent,

DrawPlus opens wmf, as transparent, and exports,
