Hi Joe123 - welcome to CTH. Have a look at this help document on the Adobe site and see if it answers your question Creating Transparency in Images with Photoshop 5.0 or Later.

BTW, I will close your other posts to avoid others posting the same reply.

Thanks Annmarie

I have also discovered that you can insert them into a document and save them in clipart (or clippings or library) and they are smaller files and still with transparent backgrounds. Although have not tried printing them yet as don't have a printer... fingers crossed.
