PowerPoint2007 a list of text into moving graphics

In the process of making a slide, the text that needs to be described in a list is often formatted with a dotted list. Now, for these old works and files, you can instantly turn text into moving graphics through an entirely new automated conversion tool in Office PowerPoint 2007.

There are two ways you can turn a column of text into a moving graphic. For example, click the Convert to SmartArt graphic button () in the Paragraph option group in the Ribbon above the screen by clicking the existing dotted list text box on the slide, and then selecting the graphic you want to apply from its Drop-down list.

At this point, the original list type of text input, through "Convert to SmartArt graphics" can easily convert text into rich graphics.

Even, you can preview the effect immediately by pausing the mouse pointer over it.
