Creating an Organisation Chart

When you create organisation charts they appear in there own window.

The arrangement of the boxes shows the hierarchy within the organisation or the structure of the boxes.

Organisation charts always start off with 4 boxes

The diagram window can be moved and resized and this may be necessary

To resize the window position the mouse pointer over any of the corners or borders (blank lines ??)

and drag with the left mouse button.

The organisation charts are saved within the presentation and you can easily copy and paste organisation charts between Excel and Word.

When you add or change an organization chart, the organization chart appears with drawing space around it, outlined by a non-printing border and sizing handles.

You can size the organization chart by using sizing commands to make the drawing area larger so you have more room to work, or you can get rid of extra space by fitting the border more closely to the diagram.
