I'm trying to create a support diagram in Powerpoint 2007 using SmartArt. I
started an org chart, but my help desk, technichal support and super-users
all funnel their issues to the same department for second-level support. It
seems that when I create a child box in the org chart, it can only be linked
to a single parent... how do I link that child to three parents?

In this case, SmartArt isn't smart enough to do what you want it to do.

If it's not too complex, you can create a new org chart by drawing
rectangles and connector lines. That would allow you to (manually) assign
the child box to 3 parent boxes (using 3 separate connector lines).

Best wishes,
