Shapes and SmartArt
Pictures are
one way to tell your story. Shapes and SmartArt are another. Shapes let
you visualize concepts. One very useful example of SmartArt is an
organization chart. The hierarchy lets you see a different view of a
company than you would get from a catalogue of the employee pictures.
Shapes and SmartArt use many of the same Drawing tools we played with earlier. This is
a fun lesson: enjoy!
