Option to remove bullets from SmartArt

[Victoria@DIG]

I've found multiple threads asking how to remove the bullets from SmartArt
and the answer is, you can't. Therefore, I'm formally requesting in future
releases there be an option to remove bullets from SmartArt.

Hi,

I agree, but it's a very new feature. A work around is to cut the Smart Art
object, paste special back as a wmf, ungroup the resultant image and
manually delete the bullet.

I've tried that trick, but it really deteriorates the quality of the graphic.

I have found a way to remove the bullets from SmartArt, after a lot of playing around in Word:

Insert a space before the text, select the space and make the font colour white. The Bullet point will turn white. Now change the fontsize of the space to 1pt.

This is the best I can do to easily remove the bullet points. I hope this helps somebody like me who needs a fix in the future.

This actually helped me a lot, thank you. Hope Microsoft will think of improving this feature, this starts being a long time people need this ...
