Moving bullets in a diagram

[DianeG]

Hi
i am working with a 3d vertical box list with 3 boxes and 3 bullets
underneath. I've seen the controls to promote and demote the bullets but not
to move them up and down the diagram (as you can do in Outline view). Is
this possible? Ideally I'd like to move a whole section at a time.

When I use the text box I can select each section of text but one selected I
can't do anything much with it.

Thanks in advance

Diane

Thanks. In retrospect, I realize I should have known that when you said
"vertical box list." Sorry 'bout that.

I was thinking that there was a way to do this in the text pane that you can
open by hitting the little arrow on the left edge of the SmartArt diagram
(or by hitting "text pane" on the SmartArt Tools Design tab of the Ribbon).
But I can't figure it out now, that's for sure! Maybe someone else will have
better ideas. (Hopefully!) Otherwise, I think the only option is to cut and
paste the text, although doing so in the text pane might at least be easier
than doing it in the shapes themselves.

You might want to submit this as a suggestion for Microsoft. You can do that
in the web interface to the newsgroups at Office Online (which is possibly
where you're posting from already). Here's a link to it:
