Word and Excel

The example on this page shows a graph from Microsoft Excel pasted and linked to Microsoft Word.

 

Linking a chart to a newsletter or report is an excellent example of office automation. Say someone corrected the data in the spreadsheet. The chart in Microsoft Excel will change. The chart that you linked with Paste Special in Word will update, too.

 

Before You Begin

The Beginning Guide to Excel demonstrates how to create a rainfall chart. Those steps are available online here.

 

You can also make your own chart for this demo if you wish.
