4) From the Diagram Gallery window, select the Cycle Diagram button on the Upper Center. The DIAGRAM Mini-Bar displays automatically.

5) Click the Insert Shape drop-down menu on the Mini-Bar to insert new Arrows and diagram elements. To delete one, select it with your mouse and then press the Delete key.

6) Click the “Click to Add a Text" label to add a text.

7) To move the typed-in text around in a circle, select and click one of the “Ball Icons" (Move Shape Backward, and, Move Shape Forward) on the Mini-Bar..

8) Click the Layout drop-down menu to fit the diagram to contents, expand the diagram, shrink the diagram, or resize the diagram.

9) To autoformat the diagram, click the Autoformat button on the Mini-Bar and select one of the available format templates.
