Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 includes SmartArt graphs to illustrate the content of the slides. Take one lists and make it more dynamic by transforming
it into a graph that uses forms and colors. Visually express processes, concepts, hierarchies and relations. |
| |
|
SmartArt graph is a graphical representation of the information (like a diagram) that is very easy to create. |
| |
| 1) You can place the main points of a list with bullets inside related forms that do not follow a format strictly vertical and to where you can apply
color so that they are more impressive and clear. |
| |
| 2) You can illustrate a production program, as it shows the image, using a graphical time scale that captures the main topics. |
| |
| 3) Show to a process by means of arrows and connected forms so that the sequence is direct and clear. |
| |
| 4) When you wish to use a SmartArt graph, you will be able to choose one in a designs gallery. A design makes reference to the types and the
organization of the forms of the graph and to how they are grouped or connected . |
| |
| 5) They are divided in these types: List, Process, Cycle, Hierarchy, Relationship and Pyramidal. |

| List Charts |
| |
| 9) This SmartArt graph uses a List design type. The graph maintains the idea of the vertical list but it separates the general concepts of the details.
|
| |
| 10) The list designs usually are used for elements that are grouped but they do not follow a process step by step. |
| |
| 11) So that the text has a legible size, you limit the amount of text that you place in the forms of the graph. |
