We explored how you can convert your normal bulleted text to a SmartArt graphic with just a click or two. However, you’ll soon discover that it is neither easy nor intuitive to edit, add, or delete text within a shape inside a SmartArt graphic. Fortunately, all the text edits can be easily performed within the convenient Text Pane of the SmartArt graphic.
