I am trying to find out if there is a source for additional smart art
graphics. I use them so often that I am exhausting what is provided in
Office 2007. Does anyone know of any?
 
There are a few at http://office.microsoft.com and http://diagrams.loki3.com

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/results.aspx?qu=smartart&av=TPL000
is the specific search link at Office Online.

You can also try making your own. Unfortunately, MS hasn't done much in the
way of making it easy for us to create our own SmartArt graphics. You must
edit the .GLOX file manually (it's XML) or using VBA.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163470.aspx is an overview that
should get you started. I'm afraid much of it will be trial and error,
though there is example GLOX code to download on that page.
http://diagrams.loki3.com has additional GLOX files for download.

Julie Terberg has also created some fantastic diagrams for Office Online.
Some are SmartArt, some aren't. But they're all cool. Get them here:
