Hi Suzanne,

As I understand, in a standalone Word 2007 install, using Insert=Chart on the Word 2007 Ribbon would be similar to what you'll see
if you use an Office 2007 package and use Office Button=Save As=Word 97-2003 document and then using Insert=Chart.

You say, "In Word 2007, the chart engine uses Excel to hold the data." How
does this work if you have a freestanding version of Word (that is, you
don't have Excel 2007 installed)? Do you not get the charting ability?
