Default Creating a regular six pointed star.

Good afternoon, fellow Publishers!

This is probably a real no brainer, but what I'm trying to do is create a
six pointed star using basic shapes. I created an equilateral triangle (15cm
wide by 12.99cm high - basic trig using sin(60) to work out the height,
copied it and flipped the copy upside down. I then aligned the left edges of
the two stars...and this is where the problem started. No matter how far up
or down I move one triangle in relation to the other, it just doesn't LOOK
right.

I need some sort of formula to say "given the height of the triangle, how
many cm down from the y origin of the first triange does the second triange
have to be?"

Unless of course someone can advise me as to how to get a six pointed star
from some other version of "basic shapes"

I use 2003 at work and 200 at home.

Thanks in advance

Pete
