• Coworker— to place the shape next to the selected shape and connect it to the same superior shape.

If you want to add a preset design scheme, click AutoFormat on the Organization Chart toolbar, and select a style from the Organization Chart Style Gallery.

• Click outside the drawing when you are finished.

Draw a line or connector

If you want to use a line to connect shapes and keep them connected, you may want to draw a connector instead of a normal line. A connector looks like a line, but it stays connected to the shapes you attach it to.

Do one of the following:

Draw a line
On the Drawing toolbar, click AutoShapes, point to Lines, and then click the line style you want.

1. Drag to draw the line.
2. Do one or both of the following:
3. To constrain the line to draw at 15-degree angles from its starting point, hold down SHIFT as you drag.

To lengthen the line in opposite directions from the first end point, hold down CTRL as you drag.
If you just want to draw a straight line, click Line on the Drawing toolbar, and then drag to draw the line.

Draw a connector

On the Drawing toolbar, click AutoShapes, point to Connectors, and then click the connector line you want.

1. Point to where you want to attach the connector.
2. Connection sites appear as blue circles as you pass the pointer over a shape.
3. Click the first connection site you want, point to the other object, and then click the second connection site.

Locked or attached connectors appear as red circles. Unlocked connectors appear as green circles.
