Hi

There are two ways to insert an Excel chart into a Word document. As far as
I can see, it is only possible to rotate the chart if it is pasted into Word
as a picture.

To see how your chart was pasted, click on the chart and click the Format
menu. If the Format menu has an option at the bottom of the menu to format a
Picture, then we can proceed. If, instead, the Format menu offers an option
to format an Object, then you will need to delete the chart, and re-copy it.
When you come to paste do Edit Paste Special and choose Picture (Enhanced
Metafile).

So, you have a chart pasted in as a picture. Click on the chart and choose
Format Picture. On the Layout tab, click Square. You should now see a
little green circle near the top centre of the chart. Drag it around to
rotate. Or, on the Draw menu, choose Draw Rotate or Flip.

Hope this helps.

Shauna, I tried the above steps and I do not have to option of ROTATE. The option is ghosted. Any other suggestions?


Thank you
