I want to import an image so it is round, notsquare or rectangular

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

In Quark/InDesign/Illustrator it's easy to place a pic in a circle so the image is then round, can this be done in PPT? Even if I save the image into a circle in Photoshop and import it it will keep the white square background, so this won't work.

Who knows how to do it guys?

DO I just save the images as gifs with no backgrounds in Photoshop? When I do that they seem to have a tiny while outline to them...

..png-24 file seems to be the answer

Hi,

One way:
Select the picture, then in the Formatting Palette > Quick Styles &
Effects > Quick Styles > Click one of the oval shapes
