Now you will, too... - Click Insert Object. - Choose Microsoft Graph Chart. Click OK. This inserts a default bar chart and shows a little spreadsheet filled with fake data. - Right-click the graph area and choose Graph Type. - In the left column of the dialog, click Pie Chart. On the right, choose the style of pie chart you want. Click OK. - In the spreadsheet, enter your real values in row 1, and their labels in the unmarked row above it. You can delete the extra rows 2, 3, etc. if you don't want to see them; they won't appear in the chart if they're there. - Right-click the chart again and choose Chart Options if you want to change the chart's appearance (for example, remove the legend or show the values or labels next to the pie pieces). - When you're satisfied with the chart, click anywhere else on the page to exit the chart mode and make the spreadsheet disappear. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

how to draw a pie chart
That could be because Word is not a drawing program. If you insist on drawing
a pie chart you can mess with the AutoShapes drawing tools, but will probably not end up with what you want. Since most charts are based on data values, however, you might want to try InsertPictureChart, where you can enter the values & let the chart be drawn for you. The default is a 3-D Column chart, but you can use the ChartChart Type menu to pick whatever style of chart you want. This is only one option, but others are available if the chart already exists in an Excel workbook, for example.
