reformat all of the autoshapes in an organization chart ...

[techwriter2]

I am trying to create an org chart in word 2003 and am trying to find out if
there is a way to universally change the autoshapes. I found the feature for
auto layouts, but I want a simple chart - no fill. Surely there has to be
another way other than changing each and every shape separately.

Hi Techwriter,

The prebuilt layouts are available from the 'Autoformat'
button on the Org Chart toolbar in Word 2003.
WireFrame is an unfilled style.

You can also use Tools=>Customize=>Commands=>Drawing
and drag the 'Select Multiple Objects' command and drag
it to the drawing toolbar next to the 'Select Object'
(White Arrow icon). Then when you're in the org chart
click the Select Multiple Objects icon, choose [Select All]
then right click on any shape to be able to choose no
fill and color the borders and lines with whatever you choose
be it plain, or fancy, or if you want to add shadows, etc.
