Geetesh: I hope you can help. Is it possible to create a CUSTOM SmartArt style for organization charts? We want to provide our admins with an easy way to create branded slides without a lot of individual customization of box size and line/font styles.
Christina, thank you for the comment. It’s possible to create a custom SmartArt style but it’s not a mainstream option until now. You can find some info about this option at https://www.indezine.com/products/powerpoint/learn/chartsdiagrams/get-more-smartart-graphics.html
If you need custom SmartArt for your organization, connect with me at https://www.indezine.com/feedback.html and I’ll try and help.
