Microsoft Word's SmartArt feature allows you to create a wide variety of professional-looking images by simply entering in the content you would like them to display. You can create a cycle, pyramid, hierarchy, list, or one of many other options. SmartArt allows you to customize different elements or switch looks in seconds.
