Removing Background In Pic?

[olds]

Is there an easy way to remove the background color in this pic so I can insert it in a word doc and it will have a clear background?

With the left side edited in Paint, which would take forever:

Is it supposed to be crooked?

There is, and it's called the magic wand in Photoshop.

In case you have access to Power Point, colors can be made transparent. This feature moves around in the different Power Points, but it has been there for a few versions.

I'll try that, thanks.

This.

Also, consider making the actual thing level.

Screw it, I even aligned it for you.

I even took the time to work on the pixels around the letters, though I could have spent more time.

I didn't straighten the image through.

edit:
Straightened up a bit.

Looks good too, thanks!

Youse guys need to send a bill to the State of California for "Graphics Services."

They can't do it either. We use Microsoft Paint... I tried to install Paint.net but I don't have admin rights.
I am supposed to be getting Photoshop Elements but it take 6 to nine months to get software.
I did hear they are dropping Lotus Notes in favor of Outlook.

There's still a lot of artifacts left. They really show up with my dark AT theme.

Lotus notes is the Devil.

Outlook is too, but not as much.

If you paint the walls in the basement green or blue this would be a lot easier.

Gotta keep them red and white. Things blend in better that way.

Anyone else see this and think Zelda?

There's a ton of flaws with the image, and I can see them with a light background.
I just didn't have the patience to bring that image into a higher-quality range, just for the fun of it. I'm not that bored.

I also didn't think it was a worthwhile image to spend that much time on, considering how aliased and rife with artifacts the image was thanks to compression.
It should be turned into a vector image, but there should have been one from the start.
