4. Click OK.

Word whirs and grinds for a moment and then inserts the chart into the page, as shown in Figure 3-2. The reason for all the commotion is that in order to insert the chart, Word must find out whether Excel is already running. If not, Word launches Excel and rearranges your screen so that Word and Excel are displayed side by side, as you can see in the figure.

Figure 3-2: A chart after it has been inserted into Word.

If Excel happens to be running already when you insert the chart, it won’t be tiled alongside Word as shown in Figure 3-2. Instead, it will remain where it is — most likely maximized in its own full-screen window. You can press the Alt+Tab key combination to switch back and forth between Word and Excel.

5. Change the sample data to something more realistic.

The data for the chart is shown in Excel, tiled alongside Word as you can see back in Figure 3-2. You need to change this worksheet to provide the data you want to chart. Notice that the chart itself changes to reflect the new data as soon as you return to Word (by clicking anywhere in the Word window).

For more information, see the section “Working with Chart Data” later in this chapter.

6. Customize the chart any way you want.

For example, you can change the chart layout or style, as described later in this chapter. Figure 3-3 shows a finished chart.
