In this lesson we will be learning how to create an organization chart.
An organization chart displays a hierarchical relationship within an organization.
For example, the company president or CEO normally appears at the top of an organization chart,
and any vice-presidents or departmental managers appear in shapes at lower levels.
In PowerPoint 2007, an organization chart can be created by inserting a Smart Art.
Before we begin, ensure you have the “Delicious! datafile” open.
To create an organization chart, go to “Slide 6” and click on the Insert tab on the Ribbon.
In the Illustrations group click on the Insert SmartArt Graphic button.
Select the Hierarchy button on the left hand column. Then select the first Hierarchy type of graphic.
Click on the OK button.
Once created,
move the graphic by clicking and dragging on the sides with a four-headed arrow, so that the header is visible.
To rename one of the shapes in the chart, select the top shape and type in “Oliver Baker”.
To move to the next line, press the [Enter] key on your keyboard and type the title “President” in the same shape.
To add more shapes to the organization chart, for instance, another assistant,
select the top shape and click on the Design tab of the SmartArt Tools contextual tabs.
Then click on the down-pointing arrow on the Add Shape button and select Assistant.
Another assistant is added, below the President.
