Does anyone know if it is possible to modify the text within a SmartArt
object through the use of the Office object model?

No, it isn't possible. That part of the object model is read-only.

You can read the text from an inline object (modifying the index numbers as
necessary) with

ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).GroupItems(1).TextFrame2.TextRange.Text

but trying to assign a string to that property fails.

Also, I get various bogus-looking errors if the SmartArt's text wrapping is
anything other than inline and I use the Shapes collection in a similar
statement to try to get the text.
