Here are five video demos, including the top-ranked family tree demo, to get you started with SmartArt graphics:

1. Create a family tree Format a family tree graphic just the way you want.

2. Move shapes in your SmartArt graphic Modify a SmartArt graphic by moving or stretching the whole graphic, positioning individual shapes, and ordering and layering your SmartArt graphic with other graphic objects.

image 3. Create a chevron list Illustrate a workflow or sequence of events by creating a chevron list in a SmartArt graphic.

4. Create an organization chart with pictures With the help of a template, you can illustrate your company hierarchy and include pictures of each person in the management chain.

5. Create a hierarchy I don’t believe in hierarchies (or is that oligarchies), but if you do, you can illustrate a hierarchy or chain of command as a SmartArt graphic.
