To set a SmartArt graphic location in Word2007

As a stand-alone graphic object, users can set the location of the SmartArt graphic in the Word2007 document as needed. Users can set the SmartArt graphic location using the preset location options provided by Word2007, and you can set their location precisely in the Layout dialog box.

If you use the preset location options to set the location of your SmartArt graphic, you can select the SmartArt graphic, and then in the SmartArt Tools/Formatting ribbon, click the Position button in the arrangement group. Select the appropriate preset location option in the list of open places (for example, select "Top left, surround text wrapping"), as shown in Figure 2011081125.
