I'm creating a powerpoint slide show with images from documents in the
slides. On each slide I have circled the part of the image that I want people
to look at. I want to know if there is a way to make circle marks that look
like it was drawn with a pen. I am using PowerPint 2007.

I don't want the cirle to just be a perfect circle. I want it to look like i
wrote on the paper and circle it. Just so that it looks more realistic.

Use the Scribble shape (Insert > Shape > Scribble) to draw your circle. To
animate, use the Wheel single spoke entrance effect.

On the Home tab, in the drawing menu, you can choose the "scribble" and draw
free-hand with the mouse.

A suggestion to add to the others:

Start the presentation in slideshow view, use the annotation tools to draw the
circle, stop the show and when asked if you want to keep the annotations, say
yes.
