Smart Art

How do you ensure that your smart art comes out in the correct order and how do you reorder it?

RE: Smart Art

Reordering the smart art by dragging around the objects won't really work. Amend the smart art by copying a label from the text pane and pasting it to another level on the text pane.

What i am basically saying is swap the labels around since in 99% of cases the shapes will be the same. You can also do this by selecting the actual labels in the shape.

To select the labels in the shape double click on the label
The label now should be highlighted
Right click on the highlighted label and select cut
Double click on the label you want to replace (having copied it somewhere first) it should be highlighted
Right click and select paste

I hope that helps

thanks

Powerpoint tip:

Capture Screenshots in Powerpoint 2010

A great new feature to Powerpoint 2010 is the "screen clipping" command. This allows you to capture an image on your screen directly via powerpoint.

Go to your insert tab on the ribbon and in the images box you will see "sreenshot", click on the arrow and select "screen clipping". Powerpoint will minimise and you will be taken to the next open application or your desktop. Wait a few seconds a your screen will grey out a little and your mouse curser will turn into a + sign. Hold your mouse down and select the area you wish to capture. When you let go of your mouse the selected area will be exported into your powerpoint presentation as an image which you can edit.

It really simple and very effective, give it a go!

This feature is also available on Excel and Word.
