MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / May 2004insert pie chart using merge data
Hi! As part of a mailmerge document I need to insert a pie chart. The pie chart will be different for each merged record. I know there is an "insert excel chart" and "insert picture" option in Word, but I can't seem to figure out how to connect that with the merged data. I greatly appreciate any help you can provide!!! Thanks so much, Steph Is your data in Excel? If not, perhaps you need to put it there and generate a chart.

The thing is, Excel's charting capability is much greater than anything in Word.

This question is asked every couple of months. If you do a Google search in this NG you should turn up discussions on the point where I outline the three basic approaches that can be used. Be warned: This is not something Word knows how to do without a lot of help. None of the methods is particularly "quick-and-easy".

Can you please indicate where your response to Steph's question is. I could not locate this. Thanks. >-----Original Message----- >Hi Steph, [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > >. > Can you please indicate where your response to Steph's > question is. You replied to it. Please read again...
