SmartDraw 2008: The Right Tool for the Job?

Obviously, one of the categories that would be most frequently used in the business world would be basic Charts. We'll start there, as it is one area that really reveals the versatility of the SmartDraw program.

Here I've selected a basic bar chart and the first thing that is immediately apparent is that SmartDraw has been designed with the Microsoft Office user in mind. The user interface is similar enough to applications such as Word and Excel that the experienced Office user can navigate it with very little trouble. Tabs at the top reveal controls for type, layout, image insertion, etc. Even the pane layout is immediately familiar.
