Often times, I use SmartArt in Word 2010 to graphically illustrate, for example, a project flow. When using the Hierarchy Graphic option in SmartArt, I need to 'label' the arrow or line from the 1st hierarchy to the 2nd-tier hierarchy, etc. I’ve not found a solution in SmartArt, so I use Insert-Shapes-Basic Shapes-Text Boxes.
While text boxes are a good solution, there’s one hiccup that I’ve not been able to resolve. When moving the SmartArt, the text boxes do not move with it. There doesn’t seem to be a Grouping option between SmartArt and Insert-Shapes.
Does anyone have any suggestions besides building the graphic completely from scratch using Insert-Shapes?
