This article was previously published under Q138640 SYMPTOMS
When you are working with a large organization chart, you may receive
one of the following error messages:
Your chart would exceed the MS Organization Chart size limit (22x17
inches).
This operation would put more than the maximum number of boxes (100) in
the same group. CAUSE
These messages can occur as a result of one of the following design limitations of Microsoft Organization Chart:
- The chart cannot be any larger than 22 inches by 17 inches. When the chart exceeds this size limit, you receive the first error message.
- A given group or level can contain a maximum of 100 boxes. For example, only 100 people can report to a single manager. When this limit is exceeded, you receive the second error message.
In addition, these messages may occur as a result of a problem with the font sizes that are used in the Organization Chart document, particularly if the file can be opened on a different computer.
WORKAROUND
To work around these limits, reduce the font size within the entire
Organization Chart. You can also create two smaller Organization Charts
side by side on a PowerPoint slide, and draw the appropriate lines
with the PowerPoint drawing tools.
