link Excel graphs to Word

Posted by Christine on January 02, 2002 1:00 PM

I use Windows 2000. How do I paste a graph from Excel into Word AND maintain a link so that further changes in Excel will be portrayed in the Word graph? Help! I've been at this for hours! Also, how do I size the graph once in Word??

Have you tried Edit\Paste Special\paste link?

From Excel

click on the chart
edit\copy

go to your Word file
edit\paste special\check Paste Link.

The 2 charts should now be linked. (you may need to hit F9 to update occasionally).

Hope that helps
