Re: Can't get the SmartArt graphic I want into my document



Make sure you have the document in .docx format. SmartArt can't be used in
documents that are in "Compatibility Mode".

Look at the top of the Word window ? if the words "Compatibility Mode"
appear after the file name, that's the problem.

The old .doc format does not support SmartArt. If your document is in .doc
format, you need to re-save it as a .docx.

Cheers

Hey all,

I am trying to get one of the SmartArt graphics into a word document. I click
on hierarchy from the toolbar and see the selection I want below it (one of
the hierarchy graphics), but when I click on it, it does nothing. I looked in
Help and it said to type the words I want in the "text pane." Is that just
like typing in the document, or is there some special place to type to get
this feature? I can't figure it out!
