Change the Layout

As you were editing the list in the Text Pane you may have noticed that the matching text in the SmartArt diagram dynamically updated the type size as you added more items to the bulleted lists.

 

In our example, the text in the diagram got smaller and smaller. Perhaps another Layout would be easier to read.

Go to SmartArt Tools->Design.

Select a different Layout.

 

What Do You See? The Layout library includes a vertical design that includes a picture placeholder. That's better!
