The quickest way to illustrate the workflow process at your organization may be to simply scrawl it on a whiteboard, but that means you’ll have to change it every time there’s a promotion or new hire. For an instant way to create, update and distribute your organizational chart, Microsoft Word comes equipped with a tool that automatically generates hierarchical diagrams. All you have to do is add your personnel information and save the file.
Open the Document
Launch Microsoft Word. To add an organizational chart to an existing document, open the file and scroll to the place for the chart. Press “Ctrl+Enter” to add a new page. Otherwise, Word starts a new blank document upon opening.
Open SmartArt
Click the “Insert” tab. Click the “SmartArt” button on the ribbon, which opens the “Choose a SmartArt graphic” pop-up window.
Select a Chart
Click the “Hierarchy” link in the left side column. Review the different organizational chart options. These are just the Word defaults – you will be able to change the colors and add rows and boxes in later steps. Double-click a chart, such as “Organization Chart,” that best suits your business. The chart is added to the Word document and a new purple “SmartArt Tools” tab and ribbon open at the top of the work area.
Insert the Labels
Click into the first/top box on the chart, which may show “[Text]” as the default. Type the name and, if desired, title of the highest-ranking person in your organization, such as the CEO, CIO, president or owner.
Customize the Chart

Move to the next box, which branches below the first. Type the name of the next-highest person. Most Word templates have three boxes on this branch. If you only have one or two people on this branch, click the box and press the “Delete” key. If you have more than three, click any box on the row, then click the “Add Shape” menu on the ribbon. Click “Add Shape After” to add another box on the same branch. Continue until all persons or job titles on this level of your organization are represented.
Add Shapes
Click a box on the second row. Click the “Add Shape” menu and choose “Add Shape Below.” This creates the next, lower level in the organizational hierarchy. Add boxes, names and titles for each person on this level of your company. Continue to add boxes and rows. Note that as you add boxes, Word will automatically shrink the chart to fit on the page.
Assign Positions to Each Person
Assign administrative positions to the persons for whom they work by clicking a box, then clicking the “Add Shape” menu. Click “Add Assistant” and a link is created from the executive to the assistant.

Add a Splash of Color
Click the “Change Colors” button on the ribbon. Choose a different set of hues from the default Word blue. You can also change individual colors in the chart. Click a box or click multiple boxes by holding down the “Ctrl” key and then clicking each box to change. Right-click any of the selected boxes and choose “Format Shape.” In the “Fill” window, choose a new color.
Save Your File
Click the “File” tab and select “Save As.” Type a name for the organizational chart and select where to save the file. Click the “Save” button.
