Finding data for a chart in word

[Joseph Piasek]

After inserting a chart in a word document I cannot seem to get back to the
excel worksheet update data on the chart.
Advice please.
Thank you.

You've still not bothered to mention which version of the program you're
using or what method was used to create the chart. Without that information
this is just a guess: I'm *assuming* this is in Word 2008 & that you're
dealing with a Smart Art chart object. If that's the case you have at least
three options:

1- Control/Right-Click the Chart Area & select Edit in Excel, or

2- Control/Right-Click the Plot area of the chart & select Edit Data, or

3- Click the Edit in Excel button in the Chart Data group of the Formatting
Palette
