How To Change Your SmartArt Graphic in PowerPoint

Once you have inserted a SmartArt graphic into your PowerPoint 2010 presentation, you may decide that another graphic is more appropriate.  However, you don’t want to lose the content that you have already added to the SmartArt graphic.  PowerPoint 2010 allows you change the graphic without losing the content already entered.

1. Open the presentation that contains the SmartArt graphic you would like to change.

2. Click the SmartArt graphic to display the SmartArt Tools tabs – Design and Format.

3. To change the SmartArt graphic, click the Design tab under SmartArtTools and click More button in the Layout group.

4. The various SmartArt layout options are displayed.  Hover your mouse over each graphic to display a preview in your presentation.

5. Select the SmartArt layout you wish to apply to your presentation.  Your SmartArt graphic is now converted to the new layout, but all your content is retained.


NOTE: If you wish to reset your SmartArt graphic back to the original layout and format, click the SmartArt graphic, click the Design tab under SmartArt Tools and select Reset Graphic in the Reset group.
That’s it for changing your SmartArt layout.  Hope you found it useful – don’t forget to take a look at some of the other tutorials about working in PowerPoint 2010.
