Word Charts and Tables

[Melissa]

Is there a way I can insert a chart in Word and have it linked to a table I have in the same document? So that when I change the number in the Word table, the chart will update also

Thanks

Melissa

Sure Select the table and COPY it.

Insert/Object and choose Microsoft Graph. Select the top left corner of the data sheet, then Edit/Paset Link. It's a bit finicky, but it does work.
