Formatting an Org. Chart (SmartArt) to fit in a page
I have to create a very large organizational chart with well over 60 divisions/sub-divisions. When I attempt to format it, I can clearly see that there is more than enough room to resize the boxes and move them around to allow for some breathing room and readability. However, I am having trouble adjusting the SmartArt to fit in a page. Is there any way to adjust the size of the boxes to make better use of the available space? Is designing such a chart on Word/Excel even possible or should I consider a different program? I’ve attached the screenshot and file for reference.
Thanks for the help! |

Generally with an org chart of this scale I would recommend using a separate program. Microsoft Visio is a good one and provides some better tools to be able to construct an org chart containing this many elements.
Your other option if you really want to use a program from the Office suite is to possibly use PPT to create your main org chart showing your Main branches and then use hyperlinks to link each "branch" through to a different slide which would have the rest of the hierarchy in more detail. I'm attached a sample file so you can see what i mean (I've only hyperlinked items 1, 2 and 3). Hope this helps. |
