4 Working with Diagrams: An Overview You can add a variety of diagrams to your PowerPoint presentation: Cycle, Organization Chart, Pyramid, Radial, Target, and Venn. You can use these diagrams to illustrate various concepts and to add life to documents and presentations. Types of Diagrams Cycle: Use this diagram when you want to show a process, especially one that is cyclical. Organization Chart: Use this diagram when you want to show a hierarchy. Pyramid: Use this diagram when you want to show a building relationship. Radial: Use this diagram to show how various elements relate to a central idea. Diocese of St. Petersburg pg. 4 5/29/2009

5 Target: Use this diagram to show a progression of items. Venn: Use this diagram to show areas of commonality or overlap. Sizing Diagrams When you add or change a diagram, it appears with drawing space around it, outlined by a non-printing border and sizing handles. You can use sizing commands to make the drawing area larger so you have more room to work. You can also get rid of excess space by fitting the border more closely to the diagram. Formatting Diagrams Once you have chosen a diagram, you can format the entire diagram with preset styles, or you can format pieces of it just as you format shapes. You can add text, color, fills, textures, and backgrounds as well as change line weight and style. You can use the Diagram toolbar that appears with your diagram to add elements or segments and to move them forward and backward. Animating Diagrams Along with sizing and formatting, you can also animate your diagrams to direct the audience's attention to different parts of the diagram being presented. With animation, you can control the flow of the information during the presentation. Diocese of St. Petersburg pg. 5 5/29/2009
