When you create a circle in Publisher 2000, hold shift as you draw. If you need to
check the dimensions, on the toolbar, format, size & position. You can input the
exact dimensions in this dialogue. Are you using an autoshape for the beams?
Do you have a draw program? You can copy your logo and paste special as a vector
(.wmf) and save it to use in other programs. That way you can re-size the image
without losing quality.
If you copy your images plus the text boxes in Publisher, insert, new drawing, paste
the logo into the drawing canvas you can resize the result, the text will re-size
because now it is an image. Use the wrapping icon to remove the unwanted background
space.
