How can I make a round ball shape by using powerpoint auto shapes?

Create a circle and then use a gradient for the fill. You may want to play
with transparency and shadow effects too.

You will need to use gradient and shadows to get this down.
Here's a sample I have submitted on Indezine that you may want to take a
look at.
These balls are done with several autoshapes grouped together. Ungroup them
and have a look at how it is done.
