MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2008Org Chart from Powerpoint XP cannot be opened in Powerpoint 2003
We have an org chart created in Powerpoint XP that we are unable to edit after upgrading to Office 2003. I have tried downloading the Org Chart 2.0 tool, etc. and nothing will open it for editing. Any suggestions? Roberta What happens when you try to edit the Org Chart in 2003?

Roberta When I try to edit the org chart Powerpoint treats it as a group of shapes. There is no intelligence behind the shapes and the lines are not attached. The lines and shapes move separately. > What happens when you try to edit the Org Chart in 2003? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > > > Any suggestions? Roberta It sounds like the chart was either created directly with autoshapes and lines or it was created as an org chart or diagram and then ungrouped. Either way, I don't know that there's any way to make it behave like an org chart again. It's like trying to unmake stew.
