"Arrange subordinates" adjusts whole chart
I'm creating an org chart using Visio 2003 on Windows 2000. All boxes
are of type "Posiiton". For some of them, I make the connector from the superior contact the subordinate at the side rather than the top of the box. When I right-click a box "A" and select "Arrange subordinates", the whole chart is laid out again, including shapes and connectors that are not part of the hierarchy under box "A". Not only are other shapes moved about, but the connections that I made entering at the side of some boxes suddenly revert to entering the top of some boxes. Is the "rearrange subordinates" function a misnomer? How does one get the professed functionality? |

I notice that if I copy the whole chart onto a brand new org chart file, "Arrange subordinates" does affect only the subordinates. However, this is not an acceptable solution because the org chart organizes itself completely anew when pasted into the new file. That means much adjustment is needed to get it the way it was in the old file. In fact, the old file was being made because an even older file started to misbehave dramatically at some point. There has to be a better way than to simply recreate the chart every time the placement goes awry. There is so much work in recreating the chart that, in this case, things start going awry evern before the recreation can be completed. |
