| 319902 | 2005-01-31 23:36:00 | Don't know if your version has got it or not (mine is not installed for me to look at the mo) but have a look under Insert>Picture>Chart. If it has got that, look in Help to learn how to drive it because I'm a bit rusty. :p |

| 319905 | 2005-02-01 02:07:00 | Hi Beetle, you can either do this in Excel itself or within Word - whatever you want . if you do it in Word like I described above a pre-made chart is created . Charts work by looking at a list of values and then making a visual representaion of those values . Change the numbers in the source and the chart changes on the fly . Ok, so you want a pie chart so youll need to enter values as percentages as the pie should total 100% . Ill show you how to do it in Word directly . insert the chart as I mentioned above then seelct sheet1 (a little tab) and wipe out the data in Sheet1 (select cells with your mouse then press the delete key) . Enter this example data in its place where the cell reference is where your entering in the text or percentage . A1 = Name A2 = Beetle A3 = FoxyMX A4 = Ninja A5 = Parry B1 = Percentage B2 = 40% B3 = 20% B4 = 30% B5 = 10% Ok, you have the data but the chart is a column chart . Click on the Chart tab then select Chart|Chart Type from the Word menu and choose pie chart from the option and go OK . |

| 319907 | 2005-02-01 06:58:00 | It might be easier for you to do this in Excel. If the charts there then double click it to see the Excel style view. | Parry (5696) | ||
