Click outside the org chart so nothing is selected....hold down your shift key and click on all the boxes so you have them all selected (little grey circles around them)...then go to the Format menu and choose Autoshape...click on the Textbox tab and set your top and bottom margins as equal numbers and the text will appear to look centered vertically ...you may have to fiddle with the numbers to get what you want, but as long as the top and bottom numbers are the same, the text does appear to look centered That's about as good as it gets, I think.

I have just figured out where I was going wrong and now realize that I have to enclose the entire 'branch' of the chart in a selection box in order to make changes to the format of those boxes in one hit! Now, If i can just find out how to align text vertically in the center I shall be really happy!
