How do I insert a number line graph into an MS Word document?

I am writing a math test. I have the equation editor to insert equations into
my MS Word document. Now, though, I want to insert a number line. Other than
drawing it in the drawing editor, is there a way to plug in values into Excel
and generate a number line graph?

Just use the Microsoft Graph object (Insert, Object, MS Graph object).
You get a basic spreadsheet for your values and a chart with reasonable,
if not extensive, customization options.

Thanks so much for this response. I'll go take a look, but what I'm wanting
is a single line like at

Can I generate that?

I think you'll have to draw that manually.

Thanks.

I can definitely do it - it's just fiddly. If there were an easy way of
doing it - I would have loved to make use of it.

We have an AppNote (i.e., a tutorial) on our website showing how to do
it with Equation Editor. MathType is better for it, because you can
save the number lines to MathType's toolbar to re-use, but everything
in the AppNote (except for the first pictogram with the bells and
airplanes) is possible with Equation Editor.
