I recently found a new way to insert graphics in my word documents using MS Word 2007 SmartArt functions, so I thought I would share it with you.

If you have upgraded to MS Word 2007 and have not had a chance to explore SmartArt.

SmartArt brings a whole new way of entering graphical representations into your Word documents, without the need for constructing them in another program and then importing the graphics.

 

SmartArt Example

This is an example of what you can do with Word 2007 SmartArt:

 

Using a Funnel Design to explain how an article is produced.

            

                                          

              

The brightness tab can be used to enhance or soften the effects of the funnel image.
