In Word 2007 when you convert a file containing Smart Art to a Word 97-2003
format, it converts the Smart Art to one solid graphic object. Only when you
convert the file back to Word 2007 does the Smart Art item return to being
editable. This is not true in Excel 2007. When working in Compatibility mode
in Excel 2007 a Smart Art object stays a Smart Art Object when you are in
Excel 2007. It is still a solid graphic when you open the xls file in an
earlier version. Anyone know why and how to get it to work in Word the way it
does in Excel?
