Depending on the number of individuals that appear on an organization chart, you may need to re-arrange subordinate shapes. For example, if a manager has several individuals reporting to them, you may need to display the subordinate positions two by two, instead of in a single column.

You can easily arrange subordinate shapes in a Visio organization chart using the steps listed below:

1. Select the shape at the highest level of the section of the chart you want to rearrange.
2. From Organization Chart menu, click Arrange Subordinates.
3. Click the layout style you want.
4. Click OK.

Visio will automatically arrange the subordinates according to the layout style you chose.
