Generic chart to populate when mail merging.

[TLH]

Is it possible to create a chart in Word, telling it to populate with data
being merged from Excel? Or perhaps create a chart in Word telling it to
actually do the chart creation once the data has been merged? Example: I have
a table in Word with merge fields. I want to take two of those merge fields
and create a chart for the values that populate into them during a merge. Is
there any way to create my chart to allow this? Each chart in my mail merge
will be different. SInce I will be doing about 1300, manually making the
charts after the merge is not going to be possible.

There is some info. about this on CIndy Maeister's website at

Look for "Merge with Chart". However, I suspect that the link to the knowhow
site is probably broken.
