eraser for inserted picture backgrounds in 2007 powerpoint

[looking for answers]

In the PowerPoint 2003 there was a feature that looked like an pencil with
eraser. When I clicked on that feature I could take out the white background
from an inserted picture in my powerpoint slide. I can not find out how to do
that in the 2007 powerpoint. I use it quite often when inserting pictures
into my presentations so I really would like to find that feature.

Set transparency tool?
Insert the image first, click on Format under Picture tools.
Click on Recolor > Set Transparent Color.

Hello - When you click on an image in PPT 2007, the ribbon will change to
the picture/image tool formatting ribbon. On the leftmost side of the ribbon
at the bottom, there is an icon that reads "edit color" or "change color" or
something like that. When you click on this one, a dropdown menu appears,
and you should be able to find your transparency wand in there.
