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!
