Select the graphic, then File->Export. You can then select PNG (doesn't appear to preserve transparency) or GIF (gives you the option of preserving transparency). I recommend that you select the "Selection" checkbox or it will export a graphic with the dimensions of the entire page, not just the bit you want. Cheers, Roy.
