Can Org Chart be inverted?

[kimdnw]

I have created a "manning chart" through 3 levels of management and including
the workers. My senior manager now wants to see it in an inverted status
(his box at the bottom and all flowing up the page from there). Is there a
simple way to flip this or do I have to re-rack all the boxes by hand?

Thanks.

You have an unusual manager. But, select everything, cntl-A, then invert,
cntl-J. Should do the trick.

Hello,

In addition to WapperDude's answer, if your Org Chart includes images these
will also be flipped by default so to correct the image orientation you
might want to have a look at this post:

Hope that helps.

Best regards

I've seen this model before, instead of management being seen to be on
top of everybody else weighing them down and crushing them, they want
to be seen as being at the bottom and supporting everyone.
Where did I see this? One of the Dilbert strips.

Thank you, gentlemen.
Yes, WapperDude's control keys worked (cntl a, then cntl j), you confused me
with the word invert in the middle, but doing one then the other flipped the
chart perfectly.

Mr. Goldsmith was also right, the other items displayed on the chart are now
upside down and will have to be repasted, but that's cake after not having to
rerack everything!

And yes, Mr. Herber, "Dilbert" is probably a good guess. My manager
explained it as a visual of his philosophy of putting the employees first,
since without their good work, he wouldn't have a job.

Thanks again,
Kim
