how do you create a bar graph in microsoft word ?

Question

or is that even possible, or do i have to use another program ?

Answer 1

Follow these steps to create a chart, such as a bar chart or a pie chart.

On the Insert menu, click Object, and then click the Create New tab.
In the Object type box, click Microsoft Graph Chart, and then click OK.
Microsoft Graph displays a chart and its associated sample data in a table called a datasheet.

To replace the sample data, click a cell (cell: A box formed by the intersection of a row and column in a worksheet or a table, in which you enter information.) on the datasheet, and then type the new text or numbers. If needed, you can import data from a text file, a Lotus 1-2-3 file, or a Microsoft Excel worksheet. You can also copy data from another program.
To return to Microsoft Word, click the Word document.
Note If you close the datasheet you can reopen it by double-clicking the chart and then clicking Datasheet on the View menu.

Answer 2

you can use excel to setup a data table and create a bar graph there, its very easy with excel chart wizard, hope you know how to do that. Then select the chart you created in excel, copy and paste it into word. Office applications support object linking and embedding.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

you can but you don't have the control that you would in excel. If you have numbers in a word table you can insert an object and the object type you would select would be microsoft graph chart.

Answer 4

All charts and graphs need to be made in Excel but you can transfer charts and graphs over to Word.

Answer 5

Word doesn't do bar graphs, but you can do one in Excel and paste it into a word doc.

Good luck.
