How does one add an extra manager at the top of an Organizational chart ?

Thanks.
Louise
 
I can not do this as the chart has one manager to begin with and I can not
select a coworker as it is grey out.

What if I want 2 equal managers at the top ?

Thanks.
 
not sure why it won't work for you --but I have Word 2000 -- and Org Char
2.0 --- and it let me add a co-worker to the top position... on either the
left or right side....

How far into your chart are you -- have you tried doing it in a new org
chart?

Hi kate,

In a new chart I get one box at the top and 3 underneath

When I select the one on top

Under Insert Shape - coworker is greyed out

Under Layout I have Standard selected and Auto Layout ?

I would love to know how to add a manager side by side.

Thanks.
 
Try turning off Auto Layout.

Okay, I played with this a bit. If you turn off AutoLayout, you can drag a
subordinate up beside the top level and then manipulate the connector into
the right position. If you turn AutoLayout back on, everything will revert
to the way it's "supposed" to be--although actually the connectors do stay
connected and the hierarchical relationships are maintained; it's just that
the top person's co-worker's subordinates tend to end up at level 3 instead
of 2 (it would be handy if there were something like Outline View in which
you could assign levels using Promote/Demote). My first approach was to add
a layer of subordinates (with two on the second level) and then try to
delete the one person at the top, but you can't do that. <sigh>
