Hi,

I wonder if someone can help - I have two problems and either needs
resolving!

A user has a PPT 2003 document with an org chart in there - this was created
in PPT 97. She cannot edit it in PPT 2003 even after I install the msoc2.exe
file (org chart 2.0). I then ripped off Office 2003 and put a vanilla build
on without any SP then installed the org chart 2.0 but still could not edit
the chart. I repeated this process after installing all three Office 2003
sp's. When I try the file on my PC running Office 2003 I can edit fine.

So, I thought let me put PPT 2007 on - now when I try and edit the chart I
get a "the org chart cannot be opened because it exceeds the maximum size".

This is for a VERY demanding pa I need to resolve this. I even downloaded
and installed a free tool called OrgPlus but that only lets you edit up to
30 boxes and the org chart needs more updating than that!

HELP.....

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike

Have a read through this:
Problems with Organization Chart (OrgChart)
http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00023.htm

If it was up to me I would be tempted to recreate from scratch in the 2003
format. Actually, I lie: I would create it from autoshapes & connectors, but
that's just my control freaky way showing through ;-)

Lucy
