Adding a Title

After you have finished your organisation chart you can add an additional textbox to your diagram which can include a title.

Select the textbox icon on the Drawing toolbar and click on the slide to insert a new textbox.

Enter the title for the organisation chart.

Select the textbox and select (Edit > Cut).

Select the organisation chart and select (Edit > Paste) to paste the textbox inside the organisation chart.

You can then drag the textbox to its correct position.

If you do not paste the textbox inside the organisation chart the title will not be moved when you moved the organisation chart.

(In Word you can just drag the textbox over the organisation chart ??)

Organisation charts always start off with 4 boxes

An organisation chart is a graphical representation of the structure for a corporation, committee or operation. These charts are useful when you need to portray a relationship. When you insert an organisational chart you are embedding a chart, Insert > Picture > Organisation Chart. These charts are composed of boxes connected to one another by lines. After you have finished File > Exit and Return to Presentation.

If you make a mistake you only have the one chance to undo it

There are four types of individual relationships: Manager, Co-worker, Subordinate and Assistant. When a box is selected for editing, you will see four lines available to insert information. Each line is a field that contains information for the name, title and two comments. If you don’t use all the field labels they won’t be displyed. Press the Tab key to move to the next field. If you need to add several new position boxes to an existing box click the position box more than once.

You can zoom in for a closer look. To click a box click it once and it can be moved
