Find a suitable spot in the back garden, preferably under a tree and out of
the sun. Dig a round hole. Fill it with mud. Quarter it twice. Now tear
pages from your Gideons. (Deuteronomy is most suitable.) Tread one page into
each segment.

I guess embedding a Chart object in Word counts as using a separate program,
sort of...

Click Insert > Object and choose Microsoft Graph Chart. Right-click the
default bar graph, click Chart Type, and select Pie Chart. Right-click
again, choose Chart Options, go to the Data Labels tab, and check "Category
name". In the same dialog, on the Legend tab, clear the "Show legend" box.

In the little spreadsheet, put the text for the sections into row 1, columns
A through H. If you want eight equal slices, put the same number in each of
the cells of row 2, columns A through H; or put in unequal numbers to have
slices of different (proportional) sizes.

When you're satisfied, click in the regular document text. The spreadsheet
will disappear. You can bring it back to make more changes by
double-clicking the chart.

The only drawback is that the text can't be inside the pie slices; it'll
always be outside the pie. That's just the way it works.
