Org Chart layout problems

[Michael J. O'Connell]

I am having difficulty getting the automatic org chart layout working
correctly. I have a chart with about 25 employees, both managers and
positions in teams uder a single manager. On the Organization Chart menu, I
click Re-layout and the chart becomes a jumble, including boxes overlapping
and lines routing through boxes. If I click on the highest level manager and
click Arrange subordinates I get similar results. I am using Vision 2003 SP1.
Is this expected behavior? How can I lay out shapes automatically without
having this occur?

Thanks, Michael

I have discovered that during the layout process,
positions will get disconnected from the original manager
and reconnected to another.

It sounds like the internal model maintained by the Organization Chart
solution is out of sync with the drawing. The layout functionality uses this
data.

Is there any possibility that this drawing was modified in a different
version of Visio or with automation events disabled?

I only use one version of Visio and I'm not sure about Automation Events. I
couldn't find a menu item or dialog box refering to this.
