Sometimes the concepts you want to convey to an audience are best presented in dia-
grams, which depict processes, hierarchies, cycles, or relationships. You can easily create
a dynamic, visually appealing diagram for a slide by using SmartArt Graphics, a powerful tool
that comes with the Microsoft Office 2010 programs. SmartArt provides predefined sets
of formatting for effortlessly putting together any of the following types of diagrams:
● Process These visually describe the ordered set of steps required to complete a
task—for example, the approval process for the launch of a new book series.
● Hierarchy These illustrate the structure of an organization or entity—for example,
a company’s top-level management structure.
● Cycle These represent a circular sequence of steps, tasks, or events; or the relation-
ship of a set of steps, tasks, or events to a central, core element—for example, the
looping process for continually improving a product based on customer feedback.
