Hi Dave,
To supplement Suzanne's reply just a tad -
When you 'draw' or 'drag' in Word on a proportional shape, such as a circle, to create or maintain a uniform shape hold the shift
key down while creating or dragging. (For some folks in Word 2002 or 2003
When you use the 'select objects tool'. If you're using 'click on' to choose objects hold the ctrl key when clicking to select more
than one object.
You may notice different behavior if the box for [x] Automatically create drawing canvas... is checked in Tools=>Options=>General as
far as default behavior in working with graphics you want to group together.
If you group autoshape objects that have different layout (wrapping) choices the grouped (newly joined) item in Word may default to
taking on an 'in front of text' wrapping style even though it isn't specified in Tools=>Options=>Edit under 'Insert/Paste
Picture', or saved as the 'Set Autoshape default' setting.
========Thanks. That helped. Unfortunately, when I resized the circles, they don't
keep their shape (I dragged diagonally). Also, I'm not sure how to keep their
spacing equidistant. I'm not sure what you mean by the Select Objects tool. >>
