Is there a fix for Org Charts that were created in
previous versions of powerpoint, when you edit them they
appear very small and have duplicate entries when you
only typed 1? They print fine but editing them is very
difficult.
 
There is a Microsoft Knowledgebase article (293212) that
discusses this issue, but the solutions are not in the
least bit helpful. The first workaround is to re-create,
from scratch, the organization chart and delete the one
created in the earlier version of Powerpoint. The
second, calls for the disabling of Chart Conversion and
the reinstallation of MS Organization Chart 2.0 (from the
MS Office 2000 CD). Neither of these solutions are, in
my opinion, useful workarounds, especially in an
enterprise environment. My company is in the process of
doing an XP rollout (3000+ computers), and this is going
to be a HUGE issue for our users who have organization
charts created in Powerpoint 97 which are then converted
to 2002. I am hoping that the Microsoft engineers come
up with an alternate workaround for this issue, and soon.
