Edit an organisation chart without re-formatting into VBA color-f.
I use MS Word (2000, I think), and have recently started experiencing
problems when trying to edit an organisation chart. When I double-click on the chart, it is automatically re-formatted into VBA-ColorFormat which makes the vertical connecting lines of the chart jagged and the boxes can only be edited in the usual text box way. The chart is no longer an MS organisation chart 2.0. Can anyone please tell me what this VBA thing is, and how do I edit an organisation chart in the usual way again?! My work is taking much longer as a result of this re-formatting. |

Hi =?Utf-8?B?MTI0a2Vycnl3?=,
I use MS Word (2000, I think), and have recently started experiencing problems when trying to edit an organisation chart. When I double-click on the chart, it is automatically re-formatted into VBA-ColorFormat which makes the vertical connecting lines of the chart jagged and the boxes can only be edited in the usual text box way. The chart is no longer an MS organisation chart 2.0. Can anyone please tell me what this VBA thing is, and how do I edit an organisation chart in the usual way again?! My work is taking much longer as a result of this re-formatting. It sounds as if the chart is being converted from an OLE object (something that really belongs to an application outside of Word) to a picture. This has nothing to do with VBA, but is usually an indication that Word is unable to find the application that originally created the object. If you press Alt+F9 in a document containing a "good" org chart you'll see the field that maintains the chart in the document. What's the first word (the field name) of the field? If you right-click the chart, do you get an "object" entry in the menu with options to edit or open it? Have you installed (or updated or re-configured) anti-virus software or any file / desktop management stuff since this was last functioning correctly? My guess would be that something along these lines is interfering. The Norton AV Office Plug-in, for example, is notorious for these kinds of problems.
