- Download the DOCX and save a working copy. Click inside a person’s table cell to replace its name and date placeholders.
- Keep the existing table structure and landscape orientation. If a long name wraps, review the whole page before reducing the font size.
- Open print preview or save a PDF in your document editor. Confirm the chart stays on one page and no names are clipped.
This is a fixed seven-person document, not an automatic layout tool. For extra branches or multiple partnerships, use a suitable online template. The DOCX download is available without registration.
