Org Chart Woes

[Brenda Rueter]

User has Word 2002 SP3 installed


She has created a simple org chart using the Drawing toolbar. She is unable
to size text blocks in word org charts - they are locked and greyed-out.
This is tied to my receiving my new computer (user now has XP instead of
Word 2000) - I used to have this functionality.



A knowledge base wrote back to me, "If the client is working with the MS
Organization Chart object in Word or PowerPoint, she will be unable to make
specific re-sizing changes. She may re-size the entire chart, or change the
margins within text boxes, but individual boxes remain the same size in
order to keep consistency. Creating a chart using individual text boxes or
autoshapes in either Word or PowerPoint would allow more flexibility in
creating charts and diagrams."



Is this correct or is there some way the user should be able to resize a
single box on demand?

Has she turned off Auto Layout?

I am not familiar with this particular feature myself. Where is Auto Layout
and do we want it off or on and how do we change the status?

Never mind, I found it. THANK YOU!!!

I'd also like to know more about this function. I was able to access it once
but now it doesn't even show in any of the toolbars.

It's the last item on the Layout menu on the Organization Chart toolbar.
