As individuals join or leave an organization, you will likely need to update your organization chart to reflect the changes. Aside from adding version numbers to the name of the Visio file, another way that you can keep track of when the last changes were made is by adding the date to the organization chart.
To add the date to an organization chart in Visio 2003:
- From the View menu, click Header and Footer.
- Under either Header or Footer, click an arrow beside Left, Center, or Right.
- From the menu that appears, click one of the date options: current date (short) or current date (long).
- Click the Choose Font button to customize the appearance of the date.
- Click OK.

Though headers and footers will work, the Visio way is to use a background page. H&Fs were added to Visio to address a specific problem. When a Visio page spans several printed pages, H&Fs allow the individual printed page to have unique information. When the Visio drawing prints on a single page, there is no difference between H&Fs and a background page except that the background page is more versatile as to what can be printed and where the information is located on the page.
