Illustrator problem in exporting wmf file in Illustrator

[thebest_raghu]

Hi Everyone,
I am facing a problem in Illustrator while exporting wmf file.
When type a text and export the picture as wmf, the exported wmf file has text with transparent background, whereas placing a transparent (png, gif) picture and exporting to wmf comes with a white background ...
The same picture when saved as png (Save for Web & Devices) still has transparent background.

I would be grateful if someone helps!!

Thanks in advance

I found a solution to my problem.

Here is what I did:
- open the picture in Illustrator
- select the picture
- Object Menu - Live Trace - Make and Expand
(transparent area becomes white)
- Choose Direct Selection tool
- Select the white area and delete
- File - export - wmf

[Actually I needed this to save a signature picture as transparent wmf, which I needed to place in Crystal Reports.]
