Microsoft® Office Visio® 2007 Inside Out

Formatting an Organization Chart

With other diagram types, you can format shapes and text by using the commands on the Format, Tools, and Shape menus. With an organization chart, you use the Organization Chart, Options command to customize the look of shapes and text and maintain a consistent look for your diagram. Microsoft Visio 2007 also allows you to apply a theme, which is a set of shape borders and text styles that apply to the entire diagram. You can also change the size of employee shapes and choose and format the text used for shape labels, as Figure 10-17 shows.
