| msoOrgChartLayoutLeftHanging Places child nodes vertically below the parent node on the left side. |
| msoOrgChartLayoutMixed Return value for a parent node that has children formatted using more than one MsoOrgChartLayoutType. |

Example
This example creates an organization chart in the active document with three child nodes and places them vertically beneath the parent node along the right side.
Sub OrgChartLayoutHangRight()
Dim shpOrgChart As Shape
Dim dgnRoot As DiagramNode
Dim dgnManagerShape As DiagramNode
Dim intCount As Integer
'Add an org chart to the active document and
'add the first (parent) node
Set shpOrgChart = ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddDiagram( _
Type:=msoDiagramOrgChart, Left:=10, _
Top:=15, Width:=400, Height:=475)
Set dgnRoot = shpOrgChart.DiagramNode.Children.AddNode
'Add three child nodes to the parent node
For intCount = 1 To 3
dgnRoot.Children.AddNode
Next
'Format the child nodes to hang vertically along the
'right directly under the parent node.
dgnRoot.Layout = msoOrgChartLayoutRightHanging
End Sub
