You can also change the style of the boxes by clicking the icon that looks like a lightning bolt. The "Organization Chart" toolbar will bring up the "Organization Chart Style Gallery" where you can select from the available styles.
Finalize the organizational chart before pasting to other Office 2003 applications so you do not need to backtrack with edits very often.
After you finalize the chart, save the Word document by clicking the "Save As..." item in the "File" menu even if you plan to paste it in another Office 2003 program. This way, you can easily make changes to the chart in the future. Then you can copy and paste the updated chart again.
