Hi Bob - that's a bit of a step backwards in functionality :-( Turn off
auto-layout and you have to pixel position the boxes yourself. No wonder
people are still installing ORG chart v2 on office 2003.

Perhaps I misunderstood.
If you're just looking to rearrange the boxes you can leave the AutoLayout
active & still move a box. Drag it to a box on the next higher level. The
exact result varies depending on the structure of the chart, but a little
jockeying usually does the trick... You just can't drag the box directly to
the specific location.

I managed to drag between levels but what I'm wanting to do is re-arrange as
the same level
Consider three child boxes: A B C
I want to re-arrange them to A C B
Thanks, Rob.

Try dragging "B" directly onto the box on the level above (parent). "B"
should reinsert on the same level from which you dragged it, but at the
right end rather than back in the middle. At least that's how it seems to
work for me.
