I am working with an existing Org. Chart and the "people"

are shown currently as a square shape.  Some of the

associates need to be changed to an oval shape.  When I

select FORMAT > LINE > and choose the appropriate rounded

corner, I select APPLY > OK .....   it never changes to

the oval it stays as a square.



Any suggestions?

Under Visio 2003, if you drop a shape from the orgchart template, select it

and choose  FORMAT > LINE > and choose the appropriate rounded corner, the

shapes do change.



Was the shape selected before you chose the FORMAT menu?

Hi,



In answer to your question, I would suggest the following

1. Select the shape which you would like to modify

2. From Format Menu > Corner Rounding



This can also be achieved with:

1. Right Click on the shape which you would like to modify

2. Format > Line > Round Corner - select the round corner which you would like to apply

3. Click on Apply

4. Click on Ok



Thanks and regards,

I am having the exact same problem that was described below and though I followed the two responders' directions and feel I have exhausted all possibilities, the corners still do not round.  I am using Visio 2002 and I am working off of the Organizational Charts template.



I would greatly appreciate any additional suggestions anyone may be able to provide.
