Insert checkboxes and drop-downs into boxes in organizational chart

Question

Using Word 2003, or PowerPoint 2003, is there a way to add a checkbox or a pick-list into a box within an organizational chart?  It's for a development path, so we need to track certain criteria about employees in the org chart and form fields seem like the best option.  Thanks!

Answer 1

The org chart would have to be constructed manually by the application of borders to selected cells and parts of cells to obtain the normal look of an org chart.

The data validation option doesn't seem to work within an org chart.  Same issue as trying to insert form fields within an org chart in Word.

Maybe you could create the organization chart in Excel and then use the Data Validation facility for your pick lists.
