Changing One Shape in Excel 2007:-

There are many items you can edit for a SmartArt shape. To see how this works, you can click any shape in the SmartArt and then try the following:

1. Use the green handle to rotate the shape.

2. Use the resize handles to resize the shape.

3. Use the move handle to nudge the shape.

4. Choose Change Shape from the Format ribbon to change the outline to a different shape.

5. Choose settings from the Shape Styles group to change fill, outline, and effects for the shape.

6. Choose settings from the WordArt Styles group to change the text inside the shape.

7. Right-click the shape and choose Format Shape to have complete control over the shape.

In general, SmartArt created on the Design ribbon looks uniform and neat. When you move to the Format ribbon, the possibility for chaos arises. For example, the SmartArt in the Figure (given below) contains mixed effects, font sizes, and rotation; it was created in the Format ribbon.



(After experimenting with the Format ribbon, you can choose Reset Graphic on the Design ribbon to turn the SmartArt back into something more uniform.)
