Enhanced Diagram Tools<br />

Like <strong>Office</strong> Word <strong>2007</strong> and <strong>Office</strong> Excel <strong>2007</strong>, <strong>Office</strong> PowerPoint <strong>2007</strong> also benefits from the<br />

addition of a new high-quality SmartArt diagramming tool that enables you to create flexible,<br />

customizable diagrams that can present your information in many different ways. You can add<br />

diagrams to your slides (by clicking the Insert tab and choosing SmartArt, and you can also<br />

easily convert the text on individual slides into a diagram (see Figure 6-9).<br />

You can diagram text in your presentation with two simple clicks.<br />

Creating Slide Libraries<br />

After you put time and energy (and teamwork) into creating an effective presentation, why not<br />

leverage that work so that you can use the information as content in other presentations? Now<br />

you can save slides to a Slide Library and add them—in the new presentation’s style—to the<br />

presentation you’re working on.<br />

Tip Create slides with information you use repeatedly in business communications—for<br />

example, your mission statement, organizational chart, contact information, or hiring policy—<br />

and save them to a Slide Library so you can easily insert them in future presentations.
