Click on the object to get the Picture toolbar. Click the Text Wrapping
button (dog icon) and change the text wrapping from In Line With Text to
some other style.

I have pasted the Excel chart as "Picture", "Picture(Enhanced Metafile)",
and
as a "Bitmap". I do not see the settings, in-line or floating. I have
version 2000. Is this setting in another version?

Hi Laura

Is the chart pasted as a picture or as an Excel chart object? And is the
picture in-line or floating?

Hope this helps.

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
