I am using the version of powerpoint before 2003. When I load a presentation
that has an organisation chart - I am unable to amend this - when I double
click all the boxes are group together. When I deselect grouping I can then
amend the chart - surely this is a bit long winded. The old version of
powerpoint and organisation chart was much better.

I find the organisation much more complicated and very rigid

You wont' be able to edit the 2003 diagrams in previous versions of PPT.
(That is, PPT 2000, 97, or 95. You can edit them in PPT 2002.)

To be clear, the only way to edit the 2003 diagrams in an earlier version is
to do what you're doing -- ungroup them.
