SmartArt Graphics (Word) in pages?

Hi,

Microsoft office has something called SmartArt Graphics, where I can easily process diagrams, graphical lists and organizational charts.

Where do I find this functionality on Pages? I know how to make tables, but how do I make tables with text more pedagogical?

Best regards / Mike

Ps. When I copy from SmartArt Graphics (Word) and paste in Pages, the resolution is poor.

Pages doesn't have Smart Art.

Yes, it is pasted as a bit map graphic. To get a slightly (not much) better result, save the Word document as .doc (not .docx). Open the .doc document in Pages and copy and paste it from there. It seems the resolution is slightly better than if you copy directly from Word.

You may want to consider sticking to Word for documents where you need SmartArt instead of trying to find work arounds in Pages. MS Word is made to support it. Pages is not.
