Lines & Backgrounds

[manufoo]

Hi all!

I am hoping you can help me - I am doing a presentation and am a bit stuck
now (well, a lot!).

I have created a circle that represents a football. Within the football is a
Pentagon. I need to create 5 sections around the pentagon and the only way i
can do this is by drawing lines for each section. However, these shapes
around the pentagon need to hyperlink to another page and I can't seem to be
able to do this. I am also unable to format the colour in between these lines
without the whole page changing colour. I've tried using freeform (am using
PowerPoint 2007) but it's so fiddly and I can't get the right shape. I have
an example of the shapes I need, if needed.

If anyone knows what i am going on about, could you please help me - this is
the only part of the presentation that i can't suss.

Thank you in advance.

Hayley

Try starting with a pie chart with 5 equal segments (either a real graph or
construct it using the "Pie" shape in more autoshapes (2002/3) or in 2007
from shapes) then add a regular hexagon in front and centred.

Is that what you mean?

Hi

As well as John's advice, you could download clipart from the MS site then
ungroup it, change colours, sizes, etc and add hyperlinks. Have a play with
a few different ones until you get the desired result (not all clipart can
be ungrouped and some ungroups to hundreds of bits....).
