powerpoint >> SmartArt Resizing Individual Graphics

by dG1vb3Jl » Tue, 14 Apr 2009 08:01:01 GMT

Hi,
I am attempting to resize individual boxes within a SmartArt org chart
graphic so that the sizes are exact. Using the handle bars will is not
getting me to the size that I need to ensure that the boxes are the same
EXACT size. When I select "Size" from the Format toolbar it resizes the
entire graphic?

Is there any way to resize indivudal boxes to an EXACT size?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

tmoore,
I maybe wrong but I do not think you can set an exact size for an individual
box in a SmartArt.
Only thing you can use is the larger and smaller buttons on the SmartArt
tools Format tab. You can drag the shape handles to re-size manually, but as
you have seen this resizes all other shapes as well.
You could work around it by cutting your SmartArt and paste it in as
Enhanced Metafile; then ungroup it (several times if needed) then resize any
text box using the Format tab of the drawing tools, size group.
Sure hope someone else will have better ideas.
