Word 2000 - fix chart data?
Hi everyone
I'm using Word 2000. I've inserted a simple chart using Insert, Object, Microsoft Graph 2000 Chart. Once I've entered the data, is there any way of 'freezing' it so the data can't be changed? I know I can use SnagIt to turn it into a jpeg, but I'd like to keep formatting options open. Thanks |

Word 2000 - fix chart data?
Hi Insert,
I've inserted a simple chart using Insert, Object, Microsoft Graph 2000 Chart. Once I've entered the data, is there any way of 'freezing' it so the data can't be changed? I know I can use SnagIt to turn it into a jpeg, but I'd like to keep formatting options open. Not really, no. Depending on what users are allowed to do in the document you could insert section breaks around the chart then protect the document as a form, leaving the other sections unprotected. This isn't 100% secure, however (like someone could use Insert/File to access the content in another document). And Excel chart might be the better option. You should be able to protect the worksheet that underlies the chart.

Thanks for the replies Cindy & Terry.
Personally I agree and I'd use Excel too, but I like the way you can use Graph from Word for simple charts - especially copying from an existing table or for users who aren't that confident with Excel. Still, not a showstopper - your help is greatly appreciated - thanks |
