Inserting a Chart:

To insert a chart in your document, select the “Insert” tab in the ribbon, and click the “Chart” button.

This opens the “Insert Chart” dialog box.
Select a category on the left of the dialog box, and select a type on the right of the dialog box by clicking it.
Click the OK button.
You may work faster, if you double click on the “Chart” of your choice.
When Excel is installed on your computer, Excel will open automatically.
If Excel is not installed on your computer, then Microsoft Graph will be opened.
Whatever it is, it does not matter.

In our spreadsheet, we have sample data, which is used in the graph of our Word document.

The sample data used in the spreadsheet, can, of course, be adapted to our needs.
To do this, place the cursor in the cell, and enter information.
The number of columns and rows that are included in our chart are placed in a blue box in the spreadsheet.
We can move the mouse pointer over the bottom right corner of the blue border. When it changes into a diagonal double arrow, click and drag it to the desired location.

As soon as you change anything in the spreadsheet, it is also applied to the chart in the Word document.
When you have entered all your data in the spreadsheet, you can close it.
Click on the X icon in the upper right corner of the application window.
The “Chart Tools” contextual tab appears with three tabs:
“Design”, “Layout”, and “Format”.
To change the chart style you can click one of the examples in the “Chart Styles”.
