Powerpoint Organisation Chart

[Guest]

I have a problem with organisation charts in Powerpoint 2002. I don't appear to be able to have more than one layout (style) in Powerpoint 2002 (it is all standard or all hanging etc), whereas in Powerpoint 95/97 you could have more than more style on the chart i.e. some standard, some left hanging, some both hanging etc.

For the moment I am still using my old Powerpoint 95/97 to create organisation charts but does anyone know how or if i can get the same from the 2002 version.

Hello,

PowerPoint 2002 and later (actually Office) doesn't provide the
functionality that you are looking for (all children of a node in the
Office Diagramming tool for Organization Charts must have the same layout).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint/Office provide this kind of functionality (without having to
resort to VBA or add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN
WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
