Use Word to quickly handle personalized chart design

Early Office in the sense of beauty really rotten one [beep ~], may be because of long time engaged in secretarial editing work of the lack of sensitivity to the United States it. But from the Office 2010 era, the features and colors of the office suite have suddenly made a qualitative leap, and the new SmartArt is simply the Gospel of fast design, plus PPT more cool animation and transition effects, let me directly to Office 2007 passers-by black, embrace 2010 So far.

SmartArt is a new chart class tool in Office that contains lists, flowcharts, charts, diagrams, matrices, pyramids, and so on, and there are a variety of chart types to choose from under each category. Word words in the top menu insert-> SmartArt, just as PPT. Then in the pop-up window to select the type of chart you want, it is noteworthy that some charts only support the first level of the table of contents, anyway, it is convenient to switch to do not worry too much.

SmartArt is just this, of course, can not be designed, but it's intelligent and the degree of humanity is high, has reached the appalling point. First, its hierarchy is very clear. Second, depending on your chart type, in editing the text, the chart will automatically add and delete elements, you can arbitrarily increase the number of items, it is the size of the elements, numbers, location will be based on your text automatically arranged, of course, the size will also--word too much, it will automatically shrink the font size.

The style of course also has a variety of options, whether it is a color scheme or presentation form (but in terms of form, I think the Office times a bit, a few pseudo 3D themes have done very bad ... 2d theme can basically deal with all the flat wind we can see now ... If you think the system default color theme is not enough, you can also directly modify the document color theme, the following figure:

My screenshot is version 2013, and Office 2010 's color theme uses adjectives to describe each color, and it's better suited to those novice who don't have enough green sense. Of course, if it doesn't satisfy you, Office also supports a variety of customizations, commonly used in PS, color fill, pattern fill, gradient fill (linear, radial, symmetrical), office can do. Now even projection, reflection, outer glow, feather, 3D These can also be done, the customization is very high.

Alignment, cascading these features although there is, the only drawback may be the unit and positioning problems, Word and PPT are the default units are cm. There are also (not very useful) guides, and Word alignment means that there are only pixel eyes left in addition to the Alignment tool. "When you use Word, be careful to change your SmartArt line (layout, in format) to" floating above the text "or" Underneath the text ", otherwise you will not be able to drag at random. 】

Output format, in addition to being saved as a PDF, you can also use the Print feature to send to OneNote, and then save it as a PNG picture in OneNote (pretend you did it with PS or AI!).
