How to make a timeline pulled from typing in date and event?

[Tracy@lawfirm]

I would like to have a table that you can enter the date and an event that
happened on that date and then have Word convert that into a graph or
timeline showing the date and the events as text boxes pointing to that date
on the chart?

I'd be nice if it made a frappucino as well! ;-)

Really, you are asking for a bit much here...

Have you tried with Excel?

This seems the kind of thing for Excel and its Chart wizard... it won't
happen automatically, but at least you have a wizard to help you along...

Try asking in a Excel group.

Then, you can link your Word document to the graph in Excel.

Alternatively, you might want to embed an Excel object in Word (Insert >
Object...)
