How can you make the background of a picture transparent?

I need to know how to make the background transparent in an image while using Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0. I need it so that you can only see the text and not a backgruond. So like if you go to a website with lets say a black backgruond, your picture does not have a white background on it making it look less professional.

    loaded question,colors represent information about an image that is normally invisible such as transparency this is really advanced blending. you have to use the fill opacity option ...the lower the opacity the more you will get all the way through. set the knockout to shallow and you get through one layer .. set it to deep and create a hole all the way through to the background.
