This is for PPT 2003. It seems that the default org chart allows you to
change fill, font, and line color, but it won't allow me to have a
rectangular box.

The 3d scheme gives me the rectangle I want, but won't let me change fill,
font, or line color. Is there any way do this without an add-in?

M Kan,
You can get a rectangular box using the default, on the org chart toolbar
click the format menu, way at the bottom click AutoLayout to turn that off.
Now if you select a box you will see a little yellow handle in a diamond
form. Drag with that handle till you get a rectangular box.
As far as I can tell you will have to do each box individually. Better to
this when the whole chart is ready.
