Add text to smartart matrix

[Jeremy]

Hi,

I would like to use the newt smartart matrix and add legends to the axes within the smartart. However I haven't been able to find a way to do that! Is it possible?

I think that a matrix is prett meaningless without a legend...

I hope this is possible but nor the Help provided nor Google have been able to tell me how to do this.

Thanks

Sorry, it is not possible.

Smart Art is designed to be used as a "component", not as the whole thing.
So you can use layered text boxes to add whatever legends you like around
the SmartArt.

You could float a text box over the top of a Smart Art to give the
appearance of a legend "inside" it.

If you do that, don't forget to group all your graphics items together
otherwise they will move around when you change the text.

Hope this helps
