Custom shapes for Org Chart wizard

[jdllc]

I am using the Org Chart Wizard command-line utility in a vb.net 2008 app. I
would like to create a new shape in the stencil so that each org-chart item
has a header and a body, each formattable individually. How do I get the data
that normally appears in a single text area to display in separate fields?

Also, is it possible to create an entirely new shape (not edit an existing
one) to use as the display shape?

Hi,

you can do a lot of changes in the orgchart soilution but all is fairly
undocumented.

YOu can exchange the shapes - just make sure the shape has the same name as
in your excel file.
Visio shapes do only have one text field - you cannot have a shape with more
textfields - but you can put the text in different areas.
The orgchart shapes are pretty complex shapes in the way they are working
and being used.

HOwever there is a point in time where it would be more efficient to rebuld
the solution especially if you dont need all the solution offers in terms of
functionality.
