In this video, staff author Jess Stratton shows users how to create easy-to-read diagrams from existing text, or using text placeholders to create SmartArt.
- [Instructor] PowerPoint can help you create…all sorts of ways to show diagrams, flowcharts,…and can even help you add a picture to a diagram.…It's called SmartArt, and all the functionality…you need is built right into PowerPoint.…Let's get started building an executive list.…I have a slide selected, small change…to the Insert tab, and I'll click SmartArt.…Here's where you can see a list…of base types of SmartArt you want.…The easiest way to decide what you should…choose is to know what you're looking for.…There's lists, processes, cycles...…
These are all diagrams that you can put…into PowerPoint and fill in your own data.…I'm going to go all the way down…to the Picture one, because I have some executives…and I have their photos to go with them.…I really like the Alternating Picture Blocks,…so I'll click once on it.…It's going to drop it into the presentation,…and now it's up to me to start building it.…I'll start by putting in the text.…So, in the dialogue box that opened up…I have a blinking cursor so I know I can just start typing.…
