Using the Microsoft Office Organization Chart add-in

The Organization Chart Add-in for Microsoft Office programs, previously called Microsoft Organization Chart 2.0, is an add-in that you can install and then add to your documents. In Office 2007, 2010, and 2013, Organization Chart is not installed automatically, and you have to install it manually before you can use it.

Notes: 

• Organization Chart has been available since the release of Microsoft PowerPoint 95. There have been no significant changes to the program since its initial release, and there are no plans to add any significant functionality to it in the future.

• You don't need to install the Organization Chart add-in with Office 2016 or Office 365—it's already built-in.

You can create an organization chart without installing the Organization Chart Add-in by using Visio or by creating a SmartArt graphic. For more information, see Create a Visio organization chart or Create an organization chart. To install the Organization Chart Add-in instead, do the following.
