Venn diagrams on word

You can create a SmartArt graphic that uses a Venn diagram layout in Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word. Venn diagrams are ideal for illustrating the similarities and differences between several different groups or concepts.

Overview of Venn diagrams

A Venn diagram uses overlapping circles to illustrate the similarities, differences, and relationships between concepts, ideas, categories, or groups. Similarities between groups are represented in the overlapping portions of the circles, while differences are represented in the non-overlapping portions of the circles.

A Venn diagram

1 Each large group is represented by one of the circles.

2 Each overlapping area represents similarities between two large groups or smaller groups that belong to the two larger groups.

Add text to the overlapping portions of the circles

You cannot add text to the overlapping portions of a Venn diagram from the Text pane. Instead, you can insert text boxes and position them over the overlapping areas.

In Excel, Outlook, and Word:

  1. On the Insert tab, in the Text group:

    • In Excel click Text Box.

    • In Outlook, click Text Box, and then click Draw Text Box.

    • In Word, click Text Box, and then at the bottom of the gallery, click Draw Text Box.

  2. Then do the following:

    • Click and drag in an overlapping circle. Draw the text box the size you want.

    • To add text, click inside the box and type.

    • To change the background color from white to the color of the overlapping circle, right-click the text box, and then select Format Shape.

    • In the Format Shape pane, under Fill, select No fill.

    • To delete the lines around the text box, with the text box still selected, click Line in the Format Shape pane, and then select No line.

      Notes: 

      • To position the text box, click it, and then when the pointer becomes crossed arrows (Four-headed arrow), drag the text box to where you want it.

      • To format text in the text box, select the text, and then use the formatting options in the Font group on the Home tab.

In PowerPoint:

  1. On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Text Box.

  2. Click and drag in an overlapping circle. Draw the text box the size you want.

  3. To add text, click inside the box and type.

  1. Click the existing circle that is located closest to where you want to add the new circle.

    • To insert a circle after the selected circle, that will overlap the selected circle, click Add Shape After.

    • To insert a circle before the selected circle, that will overlap the selected circle, click Add Shape Before.

Notes: 

  • When you want to add a circle to your Venn diagram, experiment with adding the shape before or after the selected circle to get the placement you want for the new circle.

  • To add a circle from the Text pane, click an existing circle, move your pointer before or after the text where you want to add the circle, and then press Enter.

  • To delete a circle from your Venn diagram, click the circle you want to delete, and then press Delete.

  • To move a circle, click the circle, and then drag it to its new location.

  • To move a circle in very small increments, hold down CTRL while you press the arrow keys on your keyboard.

  1. Right-click the Venn diagram that you want to change

  2. Click a layout option in the Layouts group on the Design tab under SmartArt Tools. When you point to a layout option, your SmartArt graphic changes to show you a preview of how it would look with that layout. Choose the layout that you want.

    • To show overlapping relationships in a sequence, click Linear Venn.

venn diagram word

Back when there aren’t a lot of graphics-making apps, people used Microsoft Word to make graphs and diagrams, including the Venn chart, more popularly known as the Venn Diagram. It’s still true for the Office program today.

But is it still the best way to make a Venn Diagram? Or maybe it’s time to go for an app that fits the task better, such as the Venngage Venn Diagram maker? Let’s answer those questions later. For now, we’ll teach you how to make a Venn Diagram in Word.

5 steps to make a Venn diagram in Word

To make a basic Venn Diagram in Microsoft Office’s document maker, there are 5 steps that you have to follow in order.

Select a title for it

The first thing you should do is write a title for your own Venn diagram. This is because the title of a diagram is usually at the top, and it can be tough to move texts around shapes and images in Word.

Bring out the “shapes library” from the dropdown menu 

Click on the Insert tab to bring out the Shapes library. From it, scroll down and look for the circle shape. The number of circles you’ll draw depends on the number of categories you’ll be comparing.

Arrange “shapes” and “text” properly to form the diagram

Draw overlapping circles on your page to create the Venn Diagram’s basic layout. You already know this but just a quick reminder: the area where they overlap is where you’ll place the shared trait or items of the categories being compared in the diagram.

Another thing you should know is that shapes are opaque by default. This means you won’t be able to make a much-needed overlapping area for the diagram unless you make it transparent. You can do this by changing the shape style or right-clicking on the shape. After that, select Format Shape. On the Format Shape pane, edit the fill style by increasing the transparency.

Use the text box to add text

While you can add text inside the circles, it will automatically be in paragraph format, so it will be difficult to group various items together. Instead, you’ll have to draw text boxes.

With a text box, you can put items in the circles separately, and you can put them anywhere within the circle, including the overlapping portions.

Save as a Word document

Once you’re done, save your work as a Word document. This way, you can easily edit it and make changes in the future.

An alternative way to make a Word Venn diagram

On the other hand, there is an easier way to make a Venn Diagram on the app, and that is to use SmartArt tools. Go to the Insert tab, click SmartArt Pull it up, and on the left-hand list in the dialog box, click on the Relationship option, and choose Basic Venn.

Whether it is better than the old-fashioned way, however, is arguable. While it is a lot easier, using individual shapes to create a Venn diagram gives more freedom on what the final result might look like.

Disadvantages of making a Venn diagram in Word

It’s not exactly hard to make a Venn diagram in Microsoft Word, but in case you haven’t noticed, there are many cons to using this app. First, moving text around shapes and images in Word isn’t a walk in the park, so formatting your Venn diagram can be a pain.

Second is the formatting of the text that comes with the circles, which means you’ll have to insert text boxes. Unless it’s meticulously formatted, your diagram will look messy. Lastly, the circles are pre-made and come in different sizes, so you might not be able to get the exact size you want for your diagram.
