You cannot create an organization chart in PowerPoint 2003 or PowerPoint 2002 that is similar to charts that you created in PowerPoint 2000
This article was previously published under Q293212
SYMPTOMS
When you create a new organization chart in Microsoft
PowerPoint 2002 or a later version, you cannot create an organization chart that closely
resembles the organization charts that you can create in earlier versions of
Microsoft PowerPoint.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the organization chart tool in
PowerPoint 2002 or a later version has been completely rewritten to take advantage of the enhanced
drawing capabilities of Microsoft Office XP and later versions. By taking advantage of these
enhanced drawing capabilities, later versions of PowerPoint provide much
greater formatting capability than earlier versions of PowerPoint. However,
there are some formatting functions that no longer exist in the new
organization chart tool.
MORE INFORMATION
The following Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 organization chart
formatting styles are not available starting with PowerPoint 2002:
- The first group style in the second line on the Styles menu (sometimes called quadruple hanging). Any PowerPoint 2000 organization charts that use this style are
changed to the default hanging box style.
- If you use the second and the third subordinate styles in
the same organization chart, the chart is changed to the default hanging box
style.
- If your organization chart contains more than one group of
subordinates, all of the subordinates will appear in one group and be in the
default hanging box style.
Any time that you attempt to edit an organization
chart that was created in versions of PowerPoint earlier than PowerPoint 2002,
the organization chart is changed to the new default style when the new
organization chart does not support the earlier style type.
The
AutoFormatting feature in the organization chart tool that is included starting
with PowerPoint 2002 allows you to rapidly create useful and attractive
organization charts just by clicking the shape and the layout that you want to
use for subordinates, assistants, and coworkers.
