Can this be done in Excell or Word. I don't need a complicated process but I
do need something that looks professional. I am using Microsoft Office 2003.

Try this:

Go to a cell where you want the 7 bubbles (small circles, right?)
Set the font for that cell to Wingdings

From the Excel Menu: InsertSymbol
Font: Wingdings
Choose the character in row 9, column 2 (a small circle)
Click the [Insert] button 7 times.

Then click [Cancel]

Does that work for you?
