Default how can i get multiple names in one box in org chart visio 2003?

If you have completely described what you want, the best way to do this is
use the standard objects (not org chart) and draw what you want. OrgChart
does not easily do what you want.

If you feel you want to use OrgChart, then you will need to put the data in,
say, excel and associate the rows with the specific OrgChart object. First,
build the org chart the way you want it to look. DO NOT use the default Name
and Title fields. INstead, drag the specific rows from the ExternalData
window to the Org object. You can then customize the layout of the data as
displayed in the Org object

using an excel spreadsheet as the data source?
For example, there are 5 doctors and 7 nurses, all reporting to Manager.
Rather than listing all 12 individually which is what the wizard does, how
can they be shown in the same box as their colleagues? eg. one box containg
all the nurses, and another box with the doctors, then these 2 boxes
reporting to the Manager.
