Unable to Export background in image to a PNG

[TopRobRoy]

Hi. I'm designing a creative table to overlay on another image, because I may want to alter the text from time to time, and replace it on the image.

On exporting in Designer 2.2 I can't get the background to be included, where I've made it a little bit transparent.

I thought I'd just add the image to see if anyone can tell where I'm going wrong. I'm sure it's not a bug.  I did select everything and chose Whole Document, but all I see is the Text and no Background.

Are you wanting to export to GIF? If so then that is the problem, GIF has no Transparency ability, you'll need to choose to have the default 'White' background or use a format like PDF or TIFF of PNG which do support transparency.

Thanks. Should have said. Exporting to PNG to show on top of another image. But I want to still be able to change the text.  I wondered if it was something to do with them being locked. I just noticed that.
