For more information about creating SmartArt graphics from templates, see the Help feature for the particular product in the 2007 Microsoft Office system.

NoteNote

SmartArt graphics are available in Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Outlook 2007, PowerPoint 2007, and Word 2007. PowerPoint 2007 contains some features that are not available in the other programs.
