Drawing shapes is drop-dead easy with the vast repertoire of readymade shapes available in PowerPoint. You can easily insert these shapes with a click or two, but once in a while you may get stumped. One such scenario is when you need to draw a circle, you’ll find that PowerPoint’s Shape gallery has no Circle shape! Don’t worry, all is not lost because there is an Oval shape and that can be used to draw a perfect circle.
