Unwanted white background exporting with "Save as Picture" images

[JamesEddy]

At present, when I Group these objects and “Save as Picture”, the resulting exported png has white background around the edges where the shape handles finish, not where the actual shape edges finish.



(sorry for large image size - the top image is how the Group of objects look when selected in Powerpoint. The 2nd image is how the png looks when it is exported. You can see that there is an uneven white boarder around sides and top of the image)
