Entering text for an organizational chart
To add an element to the SmartArt graphic, choose SmartArt Tools ➪ Design ➪ Create
Graphic ➪ Add Shape. Or, you can just select an item and press Enter.
When working with SmartArt, keep in mind that you can move, resize, or format individu-
ally any element within the graphic. Select the element and then use the tools on the
SmartArt Tools ➪ Format tab.
You can easily change the layout of a SmartArt diagram. Select the object and then choose
SmartArt Tools ➪ Design ➪ Layouts. Any text that you’ve entered remains intact.
After you decide on a layout, you may want to consider other styles or colors available in
the SmartArt Tools ➪ Design ➪ SmartArt Styles group.
SmartArt styles available vary depending on the document theme assigned to the workbook. To change a workbook’s
theme, choose Page Layout ➪ Themes ➪ Themes. Switching to a different theme can have a dramatic impact on the
appearance of SmartArt diagrams.
