Default Word - org chart with two kinds of layout?

Hi



I have to draw an org. chart with a CEO who has 9 people referring directly to him.

There is a long line in the middle under him with first 4 people, shown as two times one on each side of the line (side by side layout), then the line continues and ends in a horisontal line with the last 5 ones shown side by side all connected individually (vertically) to the horisontal line (standard layout). I don't know how to combine side-by-side and standard layouts under the same superior box.

Can anybody help?

Lotte

You would be better served if you used software other than Word. Constructing your Org Chart in PowerPoint or Visio, then importing into Word, would be much more efficient than Word. Just my opinion...

Well, Word is a word processor which happens to have some graphic capability. PowerPoint may have a little more capability yet still lacks the professionalism of a drawing software such as Visio. You should find constructing an Org Chart in Visio is relatively simple.
