Pages and Venn Diagrams

Hi all,
I'm starting to experience brain melt-down. I'm hoping someone can tell me how to do a Venn Diagram with Pages. I couldn't find a template in the chart section, and out of frustration, I did a search via spotlight for a Venn Diagram anywhere on my hard drive. Lo and behold, it brought up one that was in pages!! problem is, I don't know how to choose that template within Pages.

As a teacher, I would really like to use graphic organizers (and not just bar graphs or flow charts) to use when collaborating with people across the internet.

Can someone please tell me how to get to the Venn Diagram to begin with within Pages?
Thanks so much,
Lisa 4th grade

Do you mean anything more that producing overlapping circles? If that's what you want, it is very easy to do -- simply use the Objects dropdown menu to insert the circles, and ensure that they are set in the Wrap Inspector as "Fixed on page". You can also use the Graphics Inspector to remove their fill colour if you like.

thank you so much! Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to do. I remember back in my PC days, their version of Word had a template for Circle Venns--that's all they were--several overlapping circles.

I was messing around with Pages while I waited anxiously for someone (you) to come to my rescue (Thank you!) and finally realized (after browsing several other discussions here) that we CAN manipulate objects to overlapp, become transparent.. that sort of thing.

man, don't I feel silly!

Thanks so much!
