Can I put text inside venn diagrams in powerpoint?

I am trying to put a 2 circle venn diagram onto a powerpoint slide. I am
trying to put text inside the circles of the venn diagram but can't find out
how to do this. I can see how to put text outside the diagram. When I get
the 'format autoshape' box up the 'text box' tab is greyed out. I can't seem
to resize or move either the circles or the text boxes I am being shown
outside the circles. I have right clicked and unticked the use autoformat
option but that doesn't seem to change anything. Any help gratefully
received.

Joto,
Once you typed in the outside boxes next to the circles turn off AutoLayout
in the Layout menu on the toolbar. Then drag the textboxes where you want
them. Does that help?

Thanks. I think this is what I did in the end . Anyhow I've got it to work somehow.

Off topic - sorry for delay in replying, the links in the notification email
didn't work and it has taken me ages to find this area again (I know - should
have bookmarked it!). I had to go back and retrace my steps through the help
procedure as I couldn't get the correct term into any search engine. I did
find some other interesting places though, aint it always so.... And I'm not
absolutely sure if I'm replying correctly either. I have to say I don't find
any of this 'intuitive'!
Anyhow, thanks again. Joto.

Sorry the interface is so frustrating.

If you log into Office Online before clicking the link in the mail, it
usually works. (I know, it's a PITA to have to do that, especially if you
don't remember the site!) http://office.microsoft.com is good to bookmark,
you're right.
