Adding Screenshots of the Windows Desktop 571
If the style of the SmartArt list or diagram you select comes with more sec- tions than you need, you can delete the unused graphics by clicking them to select them (indicated by the selection and rotation handles around it) and then pressing the Delete key.
Formatting a SmartArt graphic
After you close the text pane attached to your SmartArt list or diagram,
you can still format its text and graphics. To format the text, select all the graphic objects in the SmartArt list or diagram that need the same type of text formatting — remember you can select several objects in the list or dia- gram by holding down Ctrl as you click them — and then clicking the appro- priate command buttons in the Font group on the Home tab of the Ribbon.
To refine or change the default formatting of the graphics in a SmartArt list or diagram, you can use the Layouts, Change Colors, and SmartArt Styles drop-down galleries available on the Design tab of the SmartArt Tools con- textual tab:
✦ Click the More button in the Layouts group and then click a thumbnail on the Layouts drop-down gallery to select an entirely new layout for your SmartArt list or diagram.
✦ Click the Change Colors button in the SmartArt Styles group and then click a thumbnail in the drop-down Theme Colors gallery to change the color scheme for the current layout.
✦ Click the More button in the SmartArt Styles group and then click a thumbnail on the SmartArt Styles drop-down gallery to select a new style for the current layout, using the selected color scheme.
Adding Screenshots of the Windows Desktop
The Screenshot command button in the Illustrations group of the Insert tab enables you to capture Windows desktop graphics and insert them directly into your worksheet. Before clicking this button, you need to open up the other application window whose document you want to capture as an Excel graphic object or set up the Windows desktop icons that you want to capture.
Then, switch back to the Excel 2013 program window and click the Screenshot button on the Insert tab or press Alt+NSC. Excel then opens a Screenshot drop-down menu similar to the one shown in Figure 2-14.
