In the process of making slides, we often need a list-style description of the text, which we usually format with a dotted list. Now, for these old works and files, you can instantly turn text into moving graphics by simply using PowerPoint 2007, a new automated conversion tool.
There are a number of ways you can turn a column of text into a moving graphic.
One: Once you click the existing dotted list text box on the slide, in the Paragraph option group above the screen, click the Convert to SmartArt graphic button to select 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.

Method Two: If you click the right mouse button on the list text box already on the slide, you can also perform the convert to SMARTART Graphic command from the expanded shortcut menu to open a list of smart graphs from which to select the graphic you want to convert and apply.

Method Three: Click More SmartArt Graphics on the shortcut menu to open the Select SmartArt Graphic dialog box to select the graphic you want to apply from more and richer graphics.

After you select a style for a smart graphic, you can also add and edit text by using the Text editing window.
