I need to save a symbol for use as a chart marker.  I can save it as a JPEG, 
but it shows up with a rectangular white background, which I do not want.  Is 
there a way to save just the symbol, minus the background?  (I am using an 
octagonal shape with the number "10" inside, to signify the year 2010.  I 
want to save just the octagon and not the surrounding white square).
