Working with SmartArt

A new feature in PowerPoint 2007 is SmartArt, a souped-up diagramming tool that allows you to quickly create all kinds of diagrams and workflow charts. When you select and insert a SmartArt diagram, you can then use a simple outline pane to enter the text that populates the various boxes and shapes of the diagram. You can insert or delete elements easily. SmartArt also works like the shapes built into PowerPoint, so after you insert a diagram, you can change various elements of it by altering their shapes, adding shapes, modifying their colors, and more.
