Rotate an org chart

[ankola]

Hello,

Is it possible to rotate a org chart? I've tried to group the shapes,
but grouping of shapes in org charts doesn't seem to be allowed in
Visio Pro 2002.

When I try to select multiple shapes and rotate them 90 degrees, all
the shapes rotate, but all the connectors seem to get unconnected :-(

Thanks.

Could you just change the orientation of the page from Landscape to
Portrait? Would this solve your problem?

Another sem-solution is to paste as a metafile. Copy the orgchart. Then go
to Edit > Paste Special and select "Enhanced metafile".

This will give you a "dumb-graphic" copy of the original Visio data, which
you can rotate. But you won't be able to edit it, so this is only good for
printing, perhaps.

What I have is an org chart that is 90" wide x 30" tall. The oversize
printer can print up to 36" wide, and pretty much as tall as the roll
of paper.

Your idea makes me think: Since I only need this for printing
purposes, maybe I'll keep it 90x30, and save it as a gif through visio.
After that, I can open it up in something image software, rotate the
gif 90 degrees, and save the gif. Then I can take it to kinkos and
print.

Thanks.
