Problems with Organizational Charts in Word 2003

[b1shank]

I have a document with organizational chart that was created in a previous
version of Word. My organization has now upgraded to Office 2003. Some of
the old organizational charts were converted to new organizational charts,
while others were not. This was not a problem. However, when I went to
recreate the ones that did not convert properly I ran into a problem. Word
2003 allowed me to recreate about 3 chart before it stop allowing me to add
any new block to any diagram. Everytime I try it duplicates the last block
created. If I attempt to modify the text in the block it modifies both
blocks. If I then delete the new block both are deleted. Its as if they are
linked. What is going on here?

This is an old document you're working in? How about if you start in a new
document: can you create the entire organization chart there?
