Using SmartArt, how do you freeze the size/ position of boxes?
I'm creating a relationship tree using SmartArt and I have all the text in
boxes. I'm trying to lay it out so it looks nice, but as I adjust the size and position of the boxes, it automatically adjusts the other boxes, and eventually the shifting ruins the adjusting I was trying to do. My text winds up scrunched and out of the place I intended it for. I've tried several times, starting from the top and bottom, by the time I get to the middle it's all out of whack. I adjusted the page size and should have plenty of room for it all to fit the way I need it to look. If there is some kind of wizard, how do I turn it off? Is there an option to freeze the boxes? |

You'll end up with individual objects that you're able to format freely. There's no way back, though, so if you need this, you'll loose the inherent SmartArt benefits.
