Default autoshape circle is bitmapped

When i draw a circle, using autoshapes, it is extremely
jagged. i can't find any "preference" or property to set
the dpi.

i'm on a PC. i'd appreciate suggestions, thanks!

AutoShapes are always vectors. You probably need to update your display
driver or change the resolution or color depth of Windows.

Pat,

If you use powerpoint 2002/XP or 2003, then powerpoint will always make your circles look nice and smooth.

If you use powerpoint 97, 2000 then they will look a little jagged (the jaggies).

If you can, try to increase your display resolution...
e.g. from 800x600 pixels to 1024x768 pixels (or higher)

to do this
right click a blank area of your desktop
choose properties
settings
screen resolution

Cheers
