I am to Create a diagram in PowerPoint® or Word mapping job opportunities starting from, or advancing to, the position focused on in your final project.
How do I create this word map or diagram in powerpoint? I know what I want to say but how do I do this with the computer programs. What does a Word map look like?
Is this what you mean by a "Word map"?

I should think that would be easier to create than in PowerPoint unless you are already comfortable in using PP.
I am not really sure about any of it. This is what they assignement said. I emailed the professor to get more information on how to do it but they have not responded.
How would I create it in Power Point?
Thanks for the help.
The few files I've made in PowerPoint have been done from templates. I'm not terribly proficient in using that program, so I love templates!
Open PP and then click on File >> New.
A column should be there at the right that includes lots of things, including Templates on Office Online and On my computer. Choose the second one; explore to see if you find one you like. If you do, fine; if you don't, then go through the ones on Office Online.
Use the F1 key any time you need help with something. Once you press that, a little box will show up where you can type in your question.
To create a word map or diagram in PowerPoint, you can follow these steps:
1. Open PowerPoint and create a new slide by clicking on the "New Slide" button.
2. Decide on the layout you want for your word map or diagram by clicking on the "Layout" option in the toolbar and selecting the appropriate layout.
3. In the slide, you can add shapes, text boxes, or SmartArt Graphics to build your word map or diagram.
- To add shapes, click on the "Insert" tab in the toolbar, then click on the "Shapes" button. Choose the desired shape, such as rectangles, circles, or arrows, and draw them on the slide.
- To add text boxes, click on the "Insert" tab, then click on the "Text Box" button. Click and drag to draw a text box and enter your text inside it.
- If you prefer to use SmartArt Graphics, click on the "Insert" tab, then click on the "SmartArt" button. Choose the appropriate SmartArt layout that best represents your word map or diagram. Enter your text in the provided text placeholders.
4. Customize your word map or diagram by resizing, formatting, and arranging the elements on the slide.
- To resize a shape or text box, click on it and drag the resize handles located on the edges or corners of the object.
- To format shapes or text boxes, right-click on the element and choose the "Format Shape" option. A formatting panel will appear on the right side, allowing you to change colors, borders, fills, and other visual properties.
- To arrange elements, click on an object, then use the "Arrange" options in the toolbar to send it to the front or back, align it with other objects, or distribute objects evenly.
5. Add text labels or titles to your word map or diagram by clicking on the "Insert" tab and selecting "Text Box" to insert text boxes, or simply click on a shape or SmartArt element and start typing directly into it.
6. Once you have finished creating your word map or diagram, you can save your PowerPoint file to your desired location.
A word map typically represents connections, relationships, or associations between ideas or concepts — often using visual elements like shapes, lines, arrows, and text. It can be a cluster diagram where related terms or concepts are clustered together around a central idea or a concept map where concepts are linked by labeled lines to show relationships.
Remember, you can customize your word map or diagram in a way that best fits your purpose and understanding of the job opportunities you want to visualize.
