Mask or erase the areas you want transparent, Save for Web as gif with
Transparency checked. If it's for a web page choose a matte color the
same or similar to the web background.

under the help menu
is found

Optimize an image for the Web in ImageReady

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How To Tip:

Optimize an image for the Web in ImageReady.

When you optimize an image for the Web, you must balance maintaining image
quality with minimizing file size and thus download time. The 4-Up tab in
ImageReady lets you preview different optimization settings. Each preview
includes file size and estimated download time. Thus, without altering the
original image, you can see the results of various settings and choose the
optimization setting that best meets your needs.

1.. Open the file in ImageReady.
2.. Click the Optimize tab to bring the Optimize palette to the front or,
if the palette isn't open, choose Window > Optimize.
3.. In the Optimize palette, choose one of the following file formats from
the Format menu:
a.. JPEG for continuous tone images, such as photographs. JPEG
compression preserves a broad range of color and subtle variations in
brightness, but does not support transparency.
b.. GIF for animations, solid-color images, and images with repetitive
color, such as line art and logos. GIF supports transparency.
c.. PNG-8 for solid-color images with sharp detail. Note that many older
browser applications do not support the PNG format.
d.. PNG-24 for continuous tone images, such as photographs. PNG-24
preserves transparency, a broad range of color, and subtle variations in
brightness. Note that many older browser applications do not support the PNG
format.
e.. WBMP for black and white images that were designed for display on
mobile devices, such as cell phones.
4.. Click the 4-Up tab in the document window. The 4-Up tab displays the
original image with three previews using different optimization settings.
The settings, the file size, and estimated download time appear below each
preview.
5.. If you want to view different settings, click a preview to select it,
and then choose a file format preset from the Preset menu in the Optimize
palette.
6.. Select the preview that best meets your needs, and choose File > Save
Optimized.
7.. In the Save Optimized dialog box, locate the folder in which you want
to save the image. Make sure the Save As Type displays the correct file
type, and click Save.

Are you kidding? His explanation is as detailed as it gets. If you
don't know how to save a file as a GIF, open up your manual.

Is the problem that you don't know how to Mask or make areas
transparent? Either Duplicate the Background or Double-click on it in
the Layer Palette to make it a layer. Look up Layer Masks.
