An organization chart or a hierarchy chart, there's a really quick way to do that within PowerPoint. It's called a smart art. Let me just introduce the concept of a smart RTO. I'm going to click on the Insert menu, and then come over here, you pick in the word smart art. And then there's actually many different business graphics that you can use. These are great.

There's a lot of purposes for these instead of doing those from scratch, these I bet you can find some uses for some of this. But there's actually a category that's called hierarchy. And these are organization charts. So I'll pick a new word hierarchy pick on this one, and then click on OK. Now imagine each different box is a different person. So let's say I have Mary up here. And I want to hit the enter key.

And let's say Mary is the CEO. Now let's say Mary has an admin. So let's say the admin is Tony. And Tony is the admin. And now let's say, Jim is a VP that reports to Mary. And then Jane is another VP that reports to Mary.

And then Terry is another VP that reports to mirror. So this is called a smart art. And I use the hierarchy and you can see I'm quickly building an organization chart. Now, let's say your organization chart is going to have more than just those people. Here's what I would do. Let's say Mary has a fourth person that reports to her so I'll pick on Jim's boss Then you pick on your design menu.

And you're going to come over here and click on the arrow where it says add a shape. Now if I say add a shape before or after, then it will put it on the same row. Let's do that. Let's add a shape before. And now notice how original another box and that redrew the line. And let's say that we have Larry.

And let's say Larry is going to be a VP. Good. All right. So now let's say that Larry has some people read that report to him. I'm going to pick on Larry's box, again, look up, click on the pulldown where it says add a shape. And then I'll say add a shape below.

And those what that does, it puts that below the box. So now let's say let's say Lisa is a manager. So everybody this is called a smart part. Now there's a lot more, we can Do this. Notice I can change the different formats over here where it says layouts, I can pick the different color schemes. Okay?

So all we did to get the start was insert and update the newer smart art. And then you have lots of business graphics, but I chose the one that's called hierarchy. And you can see it was a quick way to make an organization chart. At least that gets you started with the smart arts. After that they kind of all work the same way. And now even call the slide.

Organization chart as a title excellent.
