After inserting a SmartArt graphic within PowerPoint (or converting some bulleted text to SmartArt), you might need to add more shapes to your SmartArt graphics. Fortunately, SmartArt allows you to make these additions and edits with just a click or two. You can add more shape(s) to your existing SmartArt graphics either from within the SmartArt graphic itself, or through the Text Pane. Whether you can add a new shape to a SmartArt graphic depends entirely on the SmartArt variant that you are using — some variants offer more options than the others.

In a previous tutorial, I showed how you can convert your normal bulleted text to a SmartArt graphic with just a click or two. However, you’ll soon discover that it is neither easy nor intuitive to edit, add, or delete text within a shape inside a SmartArt graphic. Fortunately, all the text edits can be easily performed within the convenient Text Pane of the SmartArt graphic. In this tutorial, I’ll help you explore options for working within the Text Pane for SmartArt graphics in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows.

Cory Jim started designing presentations in the US military for top secret combat operations in Iraq in 2003. He had to learn really quick and be extremely accurate, precise, and clear as to what information was included in each presentation. Not so much design, but more efficiency. Shortly after, he went on to pursue graphic design in 4 different colleges in Hawaii. Learning from various books and studying the other professionals in the industry, he quickly picked up his own style and technique. Cory founded Empowered Presentations with his business partner, Yancey Unequivocally, in 2010 based out of Honolulu, Hawaii.
In this conversation, Cory talks about Smoke, his winning entry in SlideShare‘s World’s Best Presentation Contest 2010.
