Two Circles

Hi,

If I draw two circles in powerpoint, where one intersects the other, three
segments/intersections are created. In each of these segments, I would like
to enter text, and each segment must be made clickable, and into a different
colour.

How do I go about doing this?
Thank you

You could try drawing the two circles normally then using the freeform line
tool/bezier curves to trace over the three segments one at a time and finally
delete the two circles.

This isn't quite as tedious as it sounds, it's worse, unless you're really
really good with the Edit Points command. <g>

If you have a program like Corel Draw, you could make the drawing there, then
bring it into PPT. Using Draw's intersection tools, it's fairly simple.
 
This can't be done in PowerPoint. But I had the same problem a while ago and
a colleague created that drawing for me in Adobe Illustrator and saved it as
a WMF ClipArt. Mary Sauer, Microsoft Publisher MVP, is hosting it on her
website, where you can download it for free:
http://msauer.mvps.org/submitted_publisher_projects.htm . After inserting
this graphics into PowerPoint, ungroup it, then you will be able to fill the
segments and intersection separately.

Best regards,
Ute
