About Charts and Graphs in Word 2007: You Can Insert A Chart in Your Document by
capabilities in the 2007 Microsoft Office system. If Office Excel 2007 is not installed when you create a new chart
in Microsoft Office Word 2007, Microsoft Graph opens. A chart then appears with its associated data in a table
called a datasheet. You can enter your own data in the datasheet, import data from a text file to the datasheet, or
paste data from another program to the datasheet.
NOTE
You can also copy a chart from Excel to Office Word 2007. When you copy a chart, it can either be embedded as
static data or linked to the workbook. For a chart that is linked to a workbook that you have access to, you can
specify that it automatically check for changes in the linked workbook whenever the chart is opened.
NOTE
If you work in Compatibility Mode in Word, you can insert a chart by using Microsoft Graph instead
of Excel.
You can add a chart or graph to your document in one of two ways:
You can insert a chart in your document by embedding (embedded object: Information
(object) contained in a source file and inserted into a destination file. Once embedded, the
object becomes part of the destination file. Changes you make to the embedded object are
reflected in the destination file.) it When you embed data from an Excel chart in Word, you edit
that data in Office Excel 2007, and the worksheet is saved with the Word document.
You can paste an Excel chart into your presentation and link to data in Office Excel
2007 When you copy a chart from Office Excel 2007 and paste it into your document, the data in
the chart is linked to the Excel worksheet. The Excel worksheet is a separate file and is not saved
with the Word document. In this case, because the Excel worksheet is not part of the Word
document, if you want to change the data in the chart, you must make your changes to the linked
worksheet in Office Excel 2007.
To learn about the different types of charts that you can add to your document, see Available chart
types.
