SmartArt is a great new feature that Microsoft added in PowerPoint. Yet, many users want to convert their SmartArt graphic to bulleted text, or even to individually editable shapes to manipulate further. Yes, you can convert SmartArt to individual shapes, but do remember that this is a one-way process, and you lose any editability for the SmartArt graphic from that point in time. However, converting to shapes does mean that you have complete control over moving, resizing, deleting, or formatting individual shapes.
To learn more, choose your version of PowerPoint. If we do not have a tutorial for your version of PowerPoint, explore the version closest to the one you use.

SmartArt graphics are easily inserted infographics that typically place common PowerPoint shapes in relation to each other to create a strong message. You can, of course, change those individual shapes within SmartArt, as in changing a square to a circle or anything else. But what many users don’t realize is that you can do much more. You can actually move some shapes around within the SmartArt graphic if you want. This sort of creative freedom lets you adapt existing SmartArt layouts to your liking to create something new.

Line charts can display continuous data over time, set against a common scale, and are therefore ideal for showing trends in data at equal intervals. In a line chart, category data is distributed evenly along the horizontal axis, and all value data is distributed evenly along the vertical axis.
