SmartArt is a great new feature that Microsoft added in PowerPoint — yet many users want to convert their SmartArt graphic to bulleted text, or even to individual editable shapes that can be manipulated further. Yes, you can convert SmartArt to individual shapes, but do remember that this is a one-way process, and you lose any edit-ability for the SmartArt graphic from that point of time. However, converting to shapes does mean that you have complete control over moving, resizing, deleting, or formatting individual shapes.

More than a decade ago, someone suggested that over 30 million presentations are delivered every single day. Certainly, that number must have exploded now to a much larger count – and it may be even more than we can imagine if you factor in that not all presentations are created on desktop machines. Nowadays slides are also created on tablets and Smartphones, and more importantly also on online presentation platforms that provide users with the tools they need without installing any program. One such platform is emaze, and in this review we will explore this platform.

One of the best options to create new SmartArt is by converting your existing bulleted text to a SmartArt graphic. Many times though, you might want to do the reverse — that is converting SmartArt back to bulleted text. When Microsoft introduced SmartArt in PowerPoint 2007, this reverse conversion was not possible but in later versions, Microsoft added this ability. Follow these steps to do the conversion of SmartArt to bulleted text in PowerPoint 2013 — do note though that you will be left with just plain text rather than any shapes or visuals.

In a PowerPoint chart, Data Labels are used to display various types of information. You can display the value, and/or the name of the Chart Series, and/or the Categories right within or above the Series on the chart. Adding Data Labels can help the presenter reveal exact values along with the Series, so that he or she need not check on the Value axis to ascertain approximate values of any Series. In a default PowerPoint chart, you won’t be able to see the Data Labels enabled.
