How can I paste something from Windows paint without the white box surrounding it?

I'm trying to paste someone's head from one picture onto another via Windows paint but everytime I cut out the head and paste it onto the new picture, a white box surrounds the portion I pasted onto the new picture. How can I stop it from doing this and just leave the pasted head--without the white surrounding box?How can I paste something from Windows paint without the white box surrounding it?
1) Make sure you are in the second picture (the one you'll be pasting on).


2) Set your transparency color to white by right-clicking white on the palette. Basically this makes any white portion of the material you're pasting invisible, depending on your paste mode.


3) Paste the picture without setting it. If it's in opaque mode you'll see the white box as you noted already. Set your paste mode to ';transparent'; by selecting the other icon below the toolbar. It's an icon with three shapes, and the cube has a dotted line but not a white box around it.


4) Move/resize the pasted material and set it. If all goes well the white box should be gone.





Note that if any part of the face (not just the white box) is that brightest white, for example in a cartoon face, it will too become invisible when pasted in transparency mode.





Hope that helps. Sorry its difficult to describe some of these things without pictures.
