Insert SmartArt

SmartArt adds functionality to Shapes and Text Boxes. You can quickly visualize your data in a dynamic format that is simple to update.

 

SmartArt adds Shapes based on your Text Outline. When you add a new name or item, the SmartArt will automatically reformat the layout using the new information.
