Your drawing is a little confusing. Not sure what Block2 and Block3 are?

Org chart shapes: How do I add or display borders to Blocks?
Yep! Kinda figured that part!
 So, since I've been sleeping these past 20 some odd years, when I last checked, this wasn't a standard Org Chart Shape. Have things changed? If this is a custom shape, how was it made? Must've slept wrong, gotta kink in my neck. Wapperdude "John... Visio MVP" wrote: "WapperDude" wrote in message ... Your drawing is a little confusing. Not sure what Block2 and Block3 are?

Org chart shapes: How do I add or display borders to Blocks?
My drawing was admittadley poor attempt to demonstrate the type of shape I
want to make. I'm using Visio 2003, and a typical Org Chart shape is divided into 5 blocks. I want to display borders around the two upper blocks. We used to create org charts with this design in visio 2002, using data dumped from peoplesoft 7. We recently upgraded to peoplesoft 8.9 and visio 2003, and now we can't use the old design that everyone is accustom to. Hope that clarifies. . . ?

Thanks.
I leaped frogged from Tech4.1 to V2003. The Org Chart shapes I've seen only have the lower section with Name/Title. I don't believe there is any way to edit the existing shapes nor is there a way to place them in a group. Perhaps someone else has had better luck...they'll come Wapperdude "MikeZ" wrote: My drawing was admittadley poor attempt to demonstrate the type of shape I want to make.

Look at the menu Organization Chart - Options - Fields You can set which bit of data appears at what place within the shapes. Each field is set within a subshape, I've tried setting the shape line style for a subshape but it gets overwritten ! -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.

There is a way of creating modified Org Chart shapes in Visio 2003, but it
is clunky. All of the alternative masters have to be modified within the document stencil of a new template. "Paul Herber" wrote in message ell.net...

Can you please provide a bit more detail on how to modify the document
stencil shapes? I have been trying, but with no luck, nothing sticks. . .  "David Parker" wrote: There is a way of creating modified Org Chart shapes in Visio 2003, but it is clunky.
