Change the text to bold and change its font color to white.Grab the pink handle left of the text and position the text within the first arrow.Increase the size of the text box to almost match the size of the circle and center it within the circle.Choose FORMAT → WordArt Styles → Text Effects → Transform → Follow Path → Arch Up.Increase the font size for the text box to 32 pt.Add a Text Box to the slide and fill it with some text for the first arrow.If necessary, change the outline color to white ( FORMAT → Shape Outline).Increase the outline width of the shapes to 3 pt ( FORMAT → Shape Outline → Weight).Select the four arrows and change their fill to a gradient ( FORMAT → Shape File → Gradient).Repeat the above steps for all four arrows.Choose FORMAT → Merge Shapes → Union to turn the selected shapes into one single shape.Hold Shift and select the matching arrowhead to add it to the selection.Select and delete the fragments that are not needed for the diagram.Choose FORMAT → Merge Shapes → Fragment to break up the shapes into smaller parts.Move and rotate the triangles so they form the heads of the four arrows (hold Shift while rotating to snap to steps of 15 degrees).Add a Triangle shape and duplicate it three times ( Ctrl+D).Choose FORMAT → Merge Shapes → Subtract to cut out the small circle from the large one.Hold the Shift key and click on the small circle to add it to the selection.Reduce the size of the circle by grabbing the handle with the mouse and dragging it (hold Ctrl+Shift while resizing).Move the new circle on top of the existing one.Select the circle and press Ctrl+D to duplicate it.Add an Oval shape to the slide (hold the Shift key while drawing to make it a circle).
Here are the exact steps to follow to create the cyclic arrow diagram: In order to use these features in PowerPoint 2010, you first have to customize the Ribbon toolbar, as described here.
The tutorial relies heavily on the Merge Shapes features of PowerPoint 2013/2016. In this post, I will demonstrate how to create a diagram consisting of four curved arrows, as shown in the image below: How to Create a Cyclic Arrow Diagram in PowerPoint
