Help?

So here is my problem: 

1. I imported an image into Affinity Photo. The image was screen shot that i had allready cropped, but for some reason Affinity managed to import the entire image. 

2. No worries though. I cropped the image again in Affinity Photo and started selecting the parts that I wanted for my final PNG. 

3. After exporting what is essensialy the same image as i imported but without the background and importing it to word I realise that I only exported the mask, and not the background. 

What is happening? I cropped the image and removed the backgroud. Im now looking at exactly what I want to export: The illustration from the image with transparent background. But when I Export only the transparent background appears.

Help...

Cropping actions are non destructive. The pixels are not displayed but remain available. To make permanent rasterise the cropped image layer.
