The information in this article applies to:
 
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Macintosh, version 4.0
- Microsoft Organization Chart for Macintosh, version 1.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you create a large organization chart (for example one that is seven
boxes wide by ten boxes high), after you return to PowerPoint, you may
notice that the line thickness around the boxes has changed. That is, the
lines appear much thicker than they appeared in the Organization Chart
program. The lines may also be printed too thick and some of the lines
connecting boxes may no longer connect.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
One possible resolution is to save the organization chart as a file, and
then bring that chart file into PowerPoint using the Object command on the
Insert menu. To do this, use the following steps:
 
1. Double-click the chart to start Organization Chart.
 
2. On the File menu, click Save A Copy As.
 
3. Click the Desktop button, Name the chart, and then save the chart.
 
4. On the File menu, click Close And Return To <presentation name>.
 
5. Click the New Slide button. In the New Slide dialog box, scroll to the
   bottom and select the blank AutoLayout.
 
6. On the Insert menu, click Object.
 
7. In the Create section, click From File.
 
8. From the resulting dialog box, click the Desktop button, select your
   organization chart, and click OK.
 
The weight of lines around the organization chart boxes should be thinner.
