Formatting Autoshapes

Hi,

I am trying to create a diagram using autoshapes. The effect I am trying to create is a ring with segments cut away. I have tried to do this by drawing two circles one smaller than the other, on top of each other and then drawing lines on the circle for each segment. However I am unable to ungroup the image inorder to pull it apart. How can this be done? I also need each segment to be in a different colour, and do not know how to do this. Thanks.

How to create an invisible Hyperlink

Draw a shape onto your slide covering the text you would want to use as your hyperlink. Insert your hyperlink on the shape, but then go the the paint bucket and choose no fill and then go the line colour and choose no line.

When you now run your slide show and hover over the word, you get a hyperlink.
