Move boxes around in organisation chart

[Rob Nicholson]

How do you move the order of the boxes in the Word 2003 organisation chart?
In Word 2000 with Org chart v2 you simply dragged the boxes and they moved.
Doesn't seem to work the same way.

Cheers, Rob.

Use the Layout button on the special toolbar to turn off AutoLayout.

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.

Cheers, Rob.

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.
