Getting rid of the white background

[Michael24379944f1wx]

How do I get rid of the white background behind the letters after I have image traced?  I just want the letters to put on top of another background.  I have tried everything I xan think of. 

I have the attached in AI, and can copy it - but I can't make the white behind the letters go away.....

Did you check "Remove white" in the trace settings?

By the way: the attached file seems to be a *.docx (and not *.ai)

Oh my goodness! No, I didn't know to do that or do that. So simple, and
yet....I missed it.

Thanksomuch!!!

Michael,

Maybe a silly question, but have you expanded the image trace?

Hi Hans-Jürgen.
