Barb,

The newest version of LView Pro has instructions on how to produce 
transparent GIFs.  Simply choose "Help" from the top menu bar then click 
on "Contents".  Next scroll down to the section entitled "Additional 
topics" and choose "GIF89a and transparent colors".  This will give you 
the instructions.  They are quite easy to understand.
