Field not showing - Visio Standard 2003

[Naz]

Hi

I have a visio document with 20 org chartsm that are pretty finished but th
e problem i am having is that each box only shows the Name, Title and Dept of
that person. I also want to show worker role. In the past i have had no
problem hiding/showing fields so their must be something wrong with this
document.

When i right click a box and select properties I can see the worker role.
When I go to Organization Charts > Option > Fields
In the block the Worker Role isn't there.

What i have noticed is that if I go to the custom properties of a box and
then define the label for Worker Name = Worker Name but the name = Row_7...if
i change that ot Worker_Role, i then get the worker roles in the Org
Charts>Options>Fields list and can choose it, but is only works for that one
box.

I can select the box text and go to Insert>Field....and that works but again
i have to do it for each box.

I've tried creating a custom property set but to no avail, it only seems to
work on one block/box.

Can anyone help?


Thanks in advance

Last item on the Organization Chart menu is Options. The second tab, Fields,
will let you choose what is shown and where to positoin it.
