You can specify the size of your circle. Right-click the circle, format auto
shape, size tab. Once you have them all created, align them. Just be certain you are not working with them inline. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "cailin" wrote in message ...

Mary has told you most of what you need to know. A couple of extra tips:
1. To draw a perfect circle using the Oval tool, press Shift while dragging. (You can also, as Mary says, always make the height and width equal after the fact, on the Size tab of the Format AutoShape dialog.) 2. The word you were looking for to describe these circles is "concentric" (having the same center point). Although you can always use the Align tool to line them up after the fact (and this is the best way to get them perfect), you can get them approximately correct from the get-go by typing a + where you want the center. Then place your mouse pointer over the + and press Ctrl (as well as Shift) while you drag; this creates the circle from the center out. You can then delete the + when you're done. -- Suzanne S.
