Default Want to insert autoshape of a 'jigsaw' - connecting

I am trying to insert an autoshape which is a jigsaw. That is four
interconnecting blocks in the shape of a jigsaw puzzle. If anyone could help
or send me a blank one that would be great

Hi Sarah
Search Web for a children's jigsaw, the sort where you colour the pieces,
copy into Word then 'draw' on top of the pieces with the freehand drawing
tool. Use Edit Points to get a clean finish. Fill with colour and save each
piece separately. These can be inserted into PowerPoint. You can also give
each piece a Mouse over or Mouse Click action.

The WMF of the puzzle should be ungroupable, which would allow what you
want. You should also be able to recolor the individual pieces after
ungrouping.

I've got a five-piece and nine-piece puzzle samples. If you are interested,
send me a message directly and I'll send them to you.
