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. Microsoft Publisher 2003 Thanks, Dee |

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.

JoAnn Paules [MVP] was very recently
heard to utter: I would use Photoshop Elements because that's what I have. I also have MS Digital Editing and several others but I prefer PSE. I would recommend a draw program over Photoshop for this. www.freeserifsoftware.com has a free version of Serif DrawPlus available. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |

need to draw clock face w/letters not numbers
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. http://msauer.mvps.org/publisher_projects2.htm -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "djackola" wrote in message ...

It all falls back on whatever you have installed and what you've used in the
past. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Ed Bennett" wrote in message ... JoAnn Paules [MVP] was very recently heard to utter: I would use Photoshop Elements because that's what I have.

JoAnn Paules [MVP] was very recently
heard to utter: 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. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |
