Hi

Had a quick look around to see if this has been asked before - apologies if it has.

Is it possible to edit a SmartArt chart after it has been saved - I cannot get the text pane back after I have saved the document.

Thanks

John

Hi John -

It sounds like you've saved the file in the 97-2004 format (.doc) which
doesn't support SmartArt Graphics. When you open the file does
[Compatibility Mode] appear in the title bar following the file name? As a
result the graphic was converted to a picture & is no longer editable as
SmartArt.

If that isn't the problem you'll need provide more details about what you
did, which graphic, how it was saved & what happens to prevent editing.
