Step 6: Pretty It Up
If you're making a business-org chart (and you don't live in Cuba), you'll want to designate different classes or levels of employees, each with a different look for quick identification. Select one of the head-and-shoulders-silhouette objects in your document, and click the Images icon in the Style Inspector. To change the image, click the Image check box to remove the current image, and then click it again - OmniGraffle presents a Set Image dialog with which you can navigate to an image file on your Mac. Use the Inspector's pull-down menu and text fields to tweak the image's placement and opacity, or click and drag in the preview window to reposition the image in its box onscreen.

You can look as good as you want to look.
