Linking a graph from an excel spreadsheet to a Word Doc

[DIO]

Hello Smart People,

When creating graphs within Excel is it possible to link/import those graphs
into Word? If no, any other solutions to achieve this?

Thanks!

Hi

Yes you can do this. At its simplest level, copy the graph in Excel and then
do Edit > Paste Special in Word. Choose to link, if you want, and then
choose an appropriate format. The simplest, cleanest, lightest format is as
a picture. If you paste the entire Chart object into your Word document, you
get the entire chart, along with its data. If that's what you want, fine. If
that includes your profit markup in a proposal you're sending to a client,
I'd go with the picture!
