need to draw clock face w/letters not numbers

I want to create a "logo" that looks like a clock face, with letters that
spell out words, and with a minute hand showing but the hour hand pointing to
a certain character. I want the letters forming the words to go in a
clock-wise direction. I tried to insert a circle shape and go from there,
but couldn't find anything to work.

Use a graphics program.

Thanks JoAnn, but could you explain a little further....which "graphics"
program. At my office I only have Microsoft Office

I would use Photoshop Elements because that's what I have. I also have MS
Digital Editing and several others but I prefer PSE.

If you don't have a graphics program on your work computer, discuss this
with your IT department. They may have a certain number of licenses of
something available to those who need them. (If it works, let me know how
you did it. My husband is trying to get his IT department to install a
program they have on his system (one he needs) and they keep telling him if
they do, they will have one less available seat. Well, duh!

I would recommend a draw program over Photoshop for this.

www.freeserifsoftware.com has a free version of Serif DrawPlus available.

I have a "how to" put stars around a circle on my web site. It would work for a
clock. A little math, divide 360 by 12, Draw your circle, draw a line, copy the
line, select the first line, rotate 30 degrees, paste, rotate this line 60
degrees, paste, rotate 90 degrees and so on until you have the full circle.
Place your numbers on the rotated lines. Use guidelines to position your lines,
when you are finished delete the lines.

It all falls back on whatever you have installed and what you've used in the
past. ;-)

....and what you want to do with the results. If you create a pixel-based
graphic and want to enlarge later, you have to pixellate or recreate from
scratch. No such problems with vector graphics.

IMNSHO, everyone should obtain and learn to use a vector graphics tool.
