Once you have inserted an organization chart (org chart) within PowerPoint, you might need to change its layout. The “layout” means how the subordinate levels in the hierarchy branch out from top to bottom. Probably you want all subordinates flushed to the left, hanging to the right, or distributed evenly across a horizontal plane.

To learn more, choose your version of PowerPoint. If we do not have a tutorial for your version of PowerPoint, explore the version closest to the one you use.

Area charts emphasize the magnitude of change over time, and can be used to draw attention to the total value across a trend. For example, data that represents profit over time can be plotted in an area chart to emphasize the total profit. By displaying the sum of the plotted values, an area chart also shows the relationship of parts to a whole.

You won’t find an option to add an Organization Chart in the Insert tab of the Ribbon in PowerPoint. Instead, you will find the SmartArt option in the Insert tab, and organization charts are just one of the many variants of SmartArt graphics you can insert into your slide. An organization chart graphically represents the management or hierarchical structure of an organization.

When Microsoft introduced SmartArt as part of Office, it essentially created one of the most welcomed and used features in all of Microsoft Office programs. People loved this feature, and you will still find that so many users are amazed by the fact that you can convert some bulleted text on a PowerPoint slide into a graphic with one click! In addition to creating SmartArt, and including a bunch of some great variants out of the box, Microsoft also created a way for individuals and developers to create their own custom SmartArt Layout files.
