Yes, I can imagine using OpenOffice Draw, or Kivio, would be reasonably satisfactory; and indeed at work (where we use Windows), you can kind of get it done in Powerpoint. But I was trying to look at software that takes away some of the manual positioning of the boxes and the connectors. Microsoft Office does have an orgchart "designer" included, but it is really basic and no good for complex arrangements. So it is back to doing it in Powerpoint.
If no FOSS applications have been written for orgcharts, I will continue using Powerpoint, or take another look at the Draw manual to see if any features of Draw are faster than doing it in PP.
Okay, thanks Farslayer. Perhaps there will never be a package that will automate the process to a degree, but still allow flexibility to have complex layouts if required.
