Dim dgnFirstChild As DiagramNode
Dim dgnLastChild As DiagramNode
Dim intCount As Integer
'Add organizational chart diagram to the current document
Set shpDiagram = ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddDiagram _
(Type:=msoDiagramOrgChart, Left:=10, _
Top:=15, Width:=400, Height:=475)
'Add the first node to the diagram
Set dgnRoot = shpDiagram.DiagramNode.Children.AddNode
'Add three child nodes
For intCount = 1 To 3
dgnRoot.Children.AddNode
Next intCount
'Assign the first and last child nodes to variables
Set dgnFirstChild = dgnRoot.Children.FirstChild
Set dgnLastChild = dgnRoot.Children.LastChild
End Sub
