Organisation Chart layout problems
Hello,
I'm having great problems with the *new* version of Organisation Chart (2003) - the old OrgChart was bad enough, I thought it would be much better in 2003. Maybe it is, but I still can't do what I need. I need to draw up an Orgchart for a Lawyers with 3 partners at the highest level as co-workers. Organisation Chart seems to insist on only 1 person at the top level. Can anyone help please? Apologies if this is the wrong newsgroup - please direct me. Regards Rob |

Hi Chuck,
The Office 2003 built in org chart diagramming tool can be a bit frustrating. While you can 'arrange' an org chart to do what you ask, by using the Org Chart toolbar and turning off Layout=Autolayout and then using the Drawing Toolbar's Draw=Align or Distribute tool to align the 2nd row boxes (delete the center one and its connectors) then individually reroute the active connector lines, or... you may find it simpler to just create the org chart usine the Autoshape tool on the drawing toolbar or adding back in the old MS Org chart applet from http://microsoft.com/office/orkarchi...3ddl.htm#Msoc2 or its newer and more up to date version from http://orgplus.com MS Office Visio is the Office app with extensive Org chart capabilities http://microsoft.com/office/visio/prodinfo/ including the ability to use a database file for creating or maintainingg the charts. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...929481033.aspx Additional Orgchart info for Visio here. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX011406321033.aspx ======== "Chuck Elsham" wrote in message ...
