How to change the color of the lines in a Smart Art

Hi there,

I did some smart arts and put them on my website. I found out how to change the color of the squares but I just can't figure out how to change the color of the connecting lines between the boxes. I can click on the ones that go straight up and down and change the color. But I can't get ahold of the other lines to adjust them. Is there any kind of a trick that I need to use? My question refers to the graphic with the headline "Advertising Media" on the following site:

Thank you for your help!

    Are you able to select any of the textboxes in the smart art object? If so maybe you can use the TAB key to cycle through the elements.

    Or you could convert to shapes and then you should be able to format elements, although it will no longer be a smart art object

    Hi Ryan,

    thank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately, the thing is that I can't click some of the lines. That's the problem. I somehow can't get hold of them and therefor it's not possible to change the color.
