SmartDraw For Dummies is a task-based book, and readers can study any chapter independent of another chapter. This book contains many illustrations, demonstrating how to create and implement various types of business graphics. To make the book useful for first-time and novice users, the authors do not assume anything apart from the fact that readers know how to use a computer. The book is peppered with tons of graphics and examples, and it will include a detailed section on all types of business graphics, along with information of which particular business graphic type is best suited to a given scenario. Properly created, business graphics convey information in a way that is visually appealing. SmartDraw For Dummies includes an eight-page color insert showing various types of graphics that can be created from the examples in the book.

This book is intended for an audience that is familiar with everyday business tasks such as using Microsoft Office products. Wherever appropriate, references to existing Microsoft Office books in the For Dummies series are provided. There is a large market that needs a book to teach them everyday business graphics that are easy to create and edit. In addition, they need a book that explains all the concepts and types of business graphics in easy to comprehend language with samples (on the CD) and visuals (in the book). SmartDraw For Dummies fills that need.
