In our org chart we have multiple tiers all of which do not have the same reporting structure some stop at tier 2 others drop two more tiers. There is one top tier (1person) not shown in the image. In order to format on 11x17 landscape I need to have the reports under Tiers 2 and 3 flow down and not across. How? Some are working this way some are not. Image shows red boxes and purple I'd like it to flow like the red flowing down. this is what I want to do with all of them. There is enough space to have the 4th tier flow to the right since not all tier have that lowest level.

Hi Lynne. Just wondering if you found a way to do this? I have the same issue and the chart looks ridiculous with everyone going sideways for all the tiers.
Hoping that you have!

Hi Belinda - No I never did get the org chart to print in landscape view and not need a reading glass to view. I did however find that changing the orientation created a readable document in portrait 11x17. Hopefully this helps you.
Hi Lynn and Belinda
If you use the Vertical layout style for your org chart it's important to note that only employee shapes at the lowest level in the org chart hierarchy will be stacked vertically. The 'lowest level' of the org chart is always the level at which there are no more employees lower in the reporting structure:
Unfortunately there is currently no layout option which has employees at every level stacked vertically. However there are a few tips and tricks which might help you work around this.
