OK, this is going to be a list of various functions that Org Charters (at least me) need. Given that Visio is already beta there may be limited opportunities to add some of these functions, or some of them may have already been added.
1. "Hand" feature, ala Adobe, to grab and move a diagram. Best on a very large document. Pan and zoom is OK, but sometimes I just want a bit more control on how I move in the document (right click cursor choice??).
2. Zoom slider (lower RH corner like other Office 2007 products). Most likely this is already in the beta.
3. Rt Clk zoom in / zoom out.
4. BIG ONE - ability to identify any shape (e.g., shapes in a user defined stencil) in diagram as a "superior" shape (executive or manager level) in order to apply layout functions. I.e., same functionality as the current Org Chart function, but ability for user to define the function for different shapes (circles, triangles, computers, countries, etc.).
5. Ability to lock subgroup layouts so user or viewer can relayout certain parts of a diagram, but not all of it.
6. Ability for user to define layouts based on selected groups.
No doubt I'll think of others...but this is a start.
