Inserting a Chart

To create a chart in a Word document, you start by using Microsoft Graph to insert a sample chart and a datasheet into the document. A datasheet looks similar to a table and displays data in rows and columns. The chart is linked to the datasheet and plots its data.

After inserting the sample chart and datasheet, you replace the sample data with your own in much the same way you would enter information in a table. Because the datasheet is linked to the chart, when you change the values in the datasheet, the chart changes as well.
