MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2008change line design on an org chart
How do I change a line in an org chart, for reporting purposes. When I go to use the Drawing toolbar the function is grayed out. I have taken the Auto Layout off. Thanks! Which version of PPT are you using? Which version of Org Chart? That is, are you using the Insert | Diagram option in PPT 2002/2003, or are you using Insert | Organization Chart?

Okay, if you're selecting the slide layout with the title placeholder and org chart placeholder, then it's a diagram, and you should be able to select the line and change the color on the Drawing toolbar -- just as you were attempting. I can't think what would cause it to be greyed out, unless you had autolayouts still turned on. Hm...hopefully someone else will have some ideas.

Wendy When you say "change a line" do you mean "MOVE a line"?

Hi John - I wanted to replace the default line for 2 specific boxes from a solid to a dotted...It just isnt' easy, I finally did it, but it took alot of time...not easyily done. I could not delete the solid line, but rather had to hide it...and then had to draw the dotted line I needed to those 2 boxes. I find Visio much more friendly when doing these types of changes on org charts. Any ideas you have would be helpful for the future. Thanks! > Wendy > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > > > Layout off. > > > > Thanks! As Echo said earlier that should be straightforward. Put the cursor in the box to be changed and in the draw menu choose the relevant line style. Should even work with autolayout ON. Note though that this won't work if you also use the style gallery.
