So how do you create an organisation chart using Visio 2007?

1) Click on the “File” menu

2) Move your mouse over “New”, then

3) Move your mouse over “Business”, then

4) Click on “Organization Chart Wizard” (click on either Metric or US Imperial depending on where in the world you live

This starts the Visio 2007 Organization Chart Wizard.  There are a few steps to go through before you will have a compete org chart though – lets take a look!

1) If this is the first org chart you have created in Visio – make sure you select “Information that I enter using the wizard” and click “Next”

2) If you have Excel, select “Excel” and then put in the file name for where you want to store the data behind your org chart.  Click on Browse to find the folder you want to save the file in, type in the file name you want

3) Click “Next”

4) Excel will open up a workbook with some dummy data.  Using the format in the workbook, enter the data for your org chart

5) Save the excel workbook when you are done, and then close Excel.

6) On the next page of the Organization Chart Wizard, select how you would like the org chart to be formatted if you have too many people to fit on one page.  The easiest option to start with is simply let the wizard to automatically break it across pages.  Make sure that option is selected, and click “Finish”

There you have it – your brand new org chart!  The best part is that now that it is built of data stored in excel, all you need to do is update your spreadsheet, re-run the Visio 2007 Org Chart Wizard, and you will have a very fresh version of your organization chart.

‘till next time!

On the weekend of the 15th and 16th of November, a group of Aussie Office fanatics are putting together a conference called Office DevCon2008.  From what is on the agenda it looks like a great event for anyone involved in managing Office products in their workplace, or for those interested in getting a little more intimate with the Office 2007 suite, SharePoint and more.

Registration is free… and there might be sneak previews of Office 14 as well!

If you are in Sydney in mid November, make sure you check it out.  You never know, you might bump into yours truly there as well :)

You can find out more by visiting the Office DevCon 2008 website

Obviously they left one tip for reducing your impact on the environment… instead of investing in all those Office 2007 self help books, why not just bookmark your favourite Office 2007 help, tips, tricks and tutorial site!

First step is to visit the 2007 Microsoft Office System Plan and Deploy with Confidence site.  This site includes Webcasts (from level 100 through to 400), Virtual Labs, and Podcasts to help you get you complete your deployment successfully.

Secondly, check out some of the articles on deployment from media outlets such as Computerworld.  These start to give you a real world perspective on the types of issues you might face during your deployment.

Thirdly, if you are ready to go now, check out articles from experts in the community, just like Aaron Parker’s post on Deploying Office 2007 with Group Policy Startup Scripts.

Finally, once your deployment is complete, make sure you let everyone in your organisation know about Thenewpaperclip.com – so they can get up to speed quickly with the new features of Office 2007!  Remember… the key to a successful deployment is not the deployment itself, but the training and adoption that takes place afterwards.
