Convert a list to a SmartArt™ graphic

1. Click within the text that you want to convert.

2. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click Convert to SmartArt Graphic .

3. Point to any thumbnail in the layout gallery to see a preview of what the graphic would look like when applied to your text.

Tip For more layout choices, click More SmartArt Graphics, at the bottom of the gallery.

4. Click a layout thumbnail to apply it. Or, if you've opened the Choose a SmartArt Graphic dialog box for more choices, double-click the thumbnail.

Note When you convert a list to a SmartArt graphic, you will lose some text customizations, such as changes to the text color or font size, that were made to the original list.

TIPS

• You can also convert your text to a SmartArt graphic by right-clicking the text that you want to convert, and then clicking Convert to SmartArt.
• You can convert text within a placeholder or a shape, such as a text box. If you convert text that's within a shape, the graphic will be a similar size to the shape. Drag sizing handles on the graphic to enlarge it.
• If you convert a list to a SmartArt graphic, and then you want the list back, you must use Undo. If too many steps have happened and you can no longer undo, you could display the Text pane for the graphic, copy the text from there, and paste it onto a new slide. Another tactic is to copy the slide with your list before you convert it; then you have a backup.

Insert a blank SmartArt graphic

• From a placeholder icon:

1. To insert a slide with the appropriate slide layout, on the Home tab click the arrow next to New Slide. Apply one of the slide layouts that has the group of icons.

2. On the slide, click the SmartArt Graphic icon within the icon group.

3. From the gallery that opens, double-click a layout to insert it on the slide.

• From the Insert tab:

1. Click the Insert tab.

2. In the Illustrations group, click SmartArt.

3. In the gallery, double-click a layout to insert it on any slide.
