How to resize individual elements within a chart template
in [Powerpoint]
|
From: Dana on 8 May 2008 13:40 I need to be able to alter slightly an individual element within the standard chart template - the size of the "assistant" box. I have applies the template to a slide and right-clicked the box that I want to add an assistant box under. I then right-clicked the assistant box and choose "Format Auto Shape". However, under "Format Auto Shape" all re-size options are greyed out. Is there any way to resize a box within this template???

From: Dana on 8 May 2008 15:27 To clarify: I am trying this from within one of the pre-designed templates that you can choose from under "Slide Layout" (what I referred to in my original post as the "standard chart template". I have the same problem if I insert an organizational chart (first option) from diagrams option under the "View" menu...is their any other option to insert this type of chart or build your own?
