To add additional members to your family tree -

  2. On the Organization Chart toolbar, click the drop down arrow beside Insert Shape.

    • Subordinate - This will place a new shape below the currently selected shape. Use this option for a child of the selected member.
    • Coworker - Use this option for a sibling of the selected member. Coworker is not an available option when the highest member box is selected.
    • Assistant - Use this option for a spouse of the selected member.

Note - The Organization Chart toolbar will only appear when you have selected the chart or any object within the chart.
