I am having trouble deleting boxes from the organisation chart. In particular I need to have three Managers all at the top of the tree, and all at the same level. I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP. I have tried selecting the Top Box and pressing delete, but all I get is a warning bell, but no deletion. I have also tried deleting one of the lower level boxes with the same result. Any ideas. Thank You.
 
I guess you would have to use three organization charts. Select "Insert" |
"Picture" | "Organization Chart" menu item to insert an organization chart
on the slide.

Hi Ray,

don't use the organization chart tool for anything complicated. If you draw
AutoShape boxes and use connecting lines, you will get better results - and
don't need more time usually.

Kind regards,

Hello,

The organization chart diagram type, of the Office Drawing diagramming
feature in Office 2002 and 2003, does not allow you to remove the top-most
node in the chart.

You can hide it, however, by either changing it's fill and line colors to
"No Fill" and "No Line" or creating a background filled (no line) autoshape
and positioning it in front of the node.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly the organization
(and other diagram types) in Office should provide additiona functionality,
please send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:
