I can't control the size of each box in an organization chart. I
accidentally found a sizing handle once, but can't find it again. It worked
on each box indivdually. While I would be grateful to find that again, it
seems that I should be able to control the size of the box in some grouped or
automatic way, maybe the volume of content at each level, so the boxes on a
particular level are as large as necessary to hold the content of the biggest
box on that level. Any guidance, hints, suggestions, or even suspicions of
solutions would be appreciated.

You have to disable Auto Layout before you can size the boxes individually.

Thank you for being my angel, and I hate to complain, but...I've made sure
auto layout is not checked. I can still only find crosshairs in a circle
kind symbols where I would expect sizing handle points, and I can't grab
them. I think I have tried clicking on every possible point on the box, but
that's the best I can get.

While I'm asking, can the connecting line length be controlled also? I have
tall skinny boxes in the chart, and as I lengthen them to fit the text
volume, the connecting lines also get longer.

Thanks again,
