Need to spilt a circle in Word
I have a circle drawn in Word that I need to split so it looks something like a cricket ball i.e. an upside arc drawn at the top and a normal arc drawn at the bottom. I've tried using the Arc in Autoshapes but it's impossible to do both of them with this. I've tried curves too but with no success. I'm sure it can be done but am stumped! I need to add text inside both arcs and in the centre of the circle so it needs to be not too small and tidy looking. Anyone have any ideas? -- thefreckles |

Need to spilt a circle in Word
Hi thefreckles,
How about using an 'oval' shape and drawing a line through it. One advantage of this approach is that you can then right-click on the shape to change it's formatting to accept text.

Try the pie slice in More Autoshapes. You can remove the shadow and adjust the
shape. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "thefreckles" wrote in message ...
