How do I create a graph on Microsoft Word 2003?

Answer 1

It's not called a graph, it's called a 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.
Graph displays a chart and its associated sample data in a table called a datasheet.

To replace the sample data, click a cell on the datasheet, and then type the text or numbers you want, import data from a text file or Lotus 1-2-3 file, import a Microsoft Excel worksheet, or 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.

Create a chart from a Word table

Create a table in Word, with text labels in the top row and left column, and numbers in other cells.
How?

Microsoft Word offers a number of ways to make a table. The best way depends on how you like to work, and on how simple or complex the table needs to be.

Click where you want to create a table.
Click Insert Table on the Standard toolbar.
Drag to select the number of rows and columns you want.
You can also do any of the following:

Use the Insert Table command

Use this procedure to make choices about the table dimensions and format before the table is inserted into a document.

Click where you want to create a table.

On the Table menu, point to Insert, and then click Table.

Under Table size, select the number of columns and rows.

Under AutoFit behavior, choose options to adjust table size.

To use a built-in table format, click AutoFormat.

Select the options you want.

Draw a more complex table

You can draw a complex table — for example, one that contains cells of different heights or a varying number of columns per row.

Click where you want to create the table.
On the Table menu, click Draw Table.
The Tables and Borders toolbar appears, and the pointer changes to a pencil.

To define the outer table boundaries, draw a rectangle. Then draw the column and row lines inside the rectangle.

To erase a line or block of lines, click Eraser on the Tables and Borders toolbar, and then click the line you want to erase.
When you finish creating the table, click a cell and start typing or insert a graphic.
Note Hold down CTRL to automatically apply text wrapping while you draw the table.

Create a table inside another table

Create nested tables to design Web pages. Think of a Web page as one big table that holds other tables — placing text and graphics inside different table cells helps you to lay out the different parts of your page.

On the Table menu, click Draw Table.
The Tables and Borders toolbar appears, and the pointer changes to a pencil.

Position the pencil in the cell where you want the nested table (or a table inside another table).
Draw the new table. To define the table boundaries, draw a rectangle. Then draw the column and row lines inside the rectangle.
When you finish creating the nested table, click a cell, and start typing or insert a graphic.
Note If you have an existing table, you can copy and paste it inside of another table.

Click in the table.
On the Table menu, point to Select, and then click Table.
On the Insert menu, click Object, and then click the Create New tab.
In the Object type box, click Microsoft Graph Chart.
Graph displays a chart with the information from the table you created. The data associated with the chart is in a table called a datasheet.

You can edit the data in the chart by clicking a cell on the datasheet and revising the entry.

To return to Word, click the Word document.
Link or embed a chart

You can create a linked object or embedded object from any program that supports linked objects and embedded objects.



Embedded object

Linked object

Source file

Create a new embedded object

Click in the document where you want to place the embedded object.
On the Insert menu, click Object, and then click the Create New tab.
In the Object type box, click the type of object you want to create.
Only programs that are installed on your computer and that support linked objects and embedded objects appear in the Object type box.

To display the embedded object as an icon — for example, if others are going to view the document online — select the Display as icon check box.
Note You can also insert a Microsoft Excel worksheet as an embedded object by clicking Insert Microsoft Excel Worksheet on the Standard toolbar.

Create a linked object or embedded object with existing information
In a Microsoft Excel file

Open both the Microsoft Word document and the Microsoft Excel worksheet that contain the data you want to create a linked object or embedded object from.
Switch to Microsoft Excel, and then select the entire worksheet, a range of cells, or the chart you want.
Click Copy .
Switch to the Word document, and then click where you want the information to appear.
To link or embed the object, do one of the following:
Create a linked object

Click Paste .
Place the insertion point on the Paste Options button near the copied object, and then click the arrow on the button to select an option to link the data.
Create an embedded object

On the Edit menu, click Paste Special.

Click Paste.
In the As box, click the entry with the word "object" in its name. For example, click Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object.
Note If you link data from a worksheet and select the Keep Source Formatting and Link to Excel option, the linked data will match the formatting in the Excel source file. If you select the Match Destination Table Style and Link to Excel option, the linked data will be formatted in the Word default table style.

With either option you can change the formatting of the linked object in the Word document. Formatting changes you make will remain when the data is updated in the source file.

In other program files

Open the file that contains the information you want to create a linked object or embedded object from, and then select the information.
Click Copy .
Switch to the Microsoft Word document, and then click where you want the information to appear.
On the Edit menu, click Paste Special.
To link or embed the object, do one of the following:
Create a linked object

Click Paste Link.
Create an embedded object

Click Paste.
In the As box, click the entry with the word "object" in its name. For example, click Microsoft Word Document Object.
From an entire file

Click in the document where you want to place the linked object or embedded object.
On the Insert menu, click Object.
Click Create from file.
In the File box, type the name of the file you want to create a linked object or embedded object from, or click Browse to select from a list.
To create a linked object, select the Link check box.
An embedded object is created if you don't select the Link check box.

To display the linked object or embedded object as an icon — for example, if others are going to view the file online — select the Display as icon check box.
Note When you create an embedded object from information in an existing Microsoft Excel workbook, the entire workbook is inserted into your document. The document displays only one worksheet at a time. To display a different worksheet, double-click the Microsoft Excel object, and then click a different worksheet.

Get Help about charts

For more information about working with charts — for example, how to add data labels, change the scale of the value axis, or troubleshoot charts — use the following procedure to see Microsoft Excel Help or Microsoft Graph Help. To work with charts created in Graph or Excel, you must have Graph or Excel installed.

In Word, double-click the chart.
The menus and toolbars change to show the Graph or Excel menus and buttons.

If the Office Assistant is not available, click Microsoft Graph Help or Microsoft Excel Help on the Help menu.

Click a Help topic or type a question, and then click Search.
