EPS in Quark - white background?

[Kim_Beck@adobeforums.com]

I have a black logo created in Illustrator that I need to take into Quark and float over a photo background. So, I am looking to find a way to isolate the logo from the background. I saved the logo as an EPS, but when I brought it into Quark, the white background appeared.

I know that in Photoshop one uses the clipping paths and so, also following previous discussions, tried to apply these in Illustrator as well. I don't seem to be doing it right tho, as each time I try, it eliminates the black in the logo and when I save and then open it in Quark, there is nothing but a big white square.

Sorry all if this is a repeat-- I tried to follow all the previous discussion on similar problems but am still having trouble.

Thanks so much,
Kim

By the way, I am using Illustrator 10 in OS X.

Also,I'd rather do this in Illust. than Photoshop in order to get the clean lines of the vector prgram. Thanx.

Solved problem!

For anyone else who needs to know:

Yes, Illustrator defaults to a transparent background. Must make sure that when object is imported in Quark, the runaround is off and that the object is made transparent.
