We have some organization charts that were previously
created using microsoft organization chart 2.0. The files
were saved with opx extensions. I was wondering if there
is any current programs that would
open files with opx extensions apart from MS Powerpoint
2000?

Your input would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mandy
 
Mandy,

If you need to access them, say for printing in 2000, I believe you can
insert them into PowerPoint via: Insert/Object and navigate to the OPX?
However, for 2003:

Allow me to quote from the one person who really knows this area.... John
Langhans, March 10, 2004:

The MS Organization Chart 2.0 (MSOC2) application is no longer provided
with Office products (beginning with Microsoft Office System 2002) and, if
upgrading from a previous version which included MSOC2, it is removed from
the system because it is "discontinued" technology. Because of this, if you
try to edit an MSOC2 object in Office 2003 you will receive the generic
error that occurs whenever you try to edit/open an OLE object for which no
server application is available. In Office 2002 we attempted to convert
MSOC2 charts to the new Office Diagramming feature for organization charts
but, because of differences in capabilities there were some MSOC2 chart
styles which did not convert well so this conversion is no longer attempted
in Office 2003.

If, in the short term, you are running PowerPoint/Office 2003 and still
need to edit organization charts created using the old MSOC2 tool, you can
download the tool from Microsoft Office Online:

Hope that helps.
