Organisational Charts

An organisation chart is a 'flowchart' style of pre-drawn diagram, which allows you to illustrate management structures inside a company. It can, of course, be used to illustrate any other style of schematic.

  1. Add a new slide by clicking the Insert menu and choosing New Slide. Choose the 'Org Chart' layout.
  2. Click in the title placeholder and type in "Management Team".
  3. Double-click in the chart and the Chart window will appear. The default chart has one manager and three subordinates. Click on the manager box and type in "M. Jones (Enter) MD" and click on each subordinate box in turn typing in "G. Francis (Enter) Accounts", "M. Thomas (Enter) Sales" and "A. Johnson (Enter) R&D".
  4. Click on the Co-worker button and select the 'A. Johnson' box. A Co-worker box appears. Select this box and type in "S. Dawson (Enter) Networks".
  5. Click on the Subordinate button and select the 'G. Francis' box. A Subordinate box appears. Select this box and type in "Y. Owen (Enter) Payroll".
  6. Add a subordinate box to the 'A. Johnson' box and add a co-worker box. Type in 'T. Phillips (Enter) PC Systems" and "E. Edwards (Enter) Software" as illustrated below.
