Answer: How do i rotate a chart in word
Sure thing! Rotating a chart in Word is actually pretty simple. Here's how you can do it:
If you want to rotate the chart by a different amount, you can use the "Rotate" button to choose a custom rotation angle. You can also use the rotation handle on the chart itself to rotate it manually. I hope that 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 Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Ida" wrote in message ... I transtered a chart from excel to word and now i want to rotate it 90 degrees.

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. Shauna Kelly.

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?
