I know, it’s worrisome enough to get the darn chart embedded in your Word document. Trust me, I really do know. As I have said before, math is not my friend, and I am very careful the entire time I am working with math or Excel!
So you have your Excel chart carefully placed in your Word document and you have saved it. But now, you decide that you would like to make some changes. I get nervous just thinking about it! But I don’t want you to get nervous too!
Follow the steps below to learn how:
- Select your chart.
- Go to Chart Design or Chart Tools Design | Data | Edit Data and select one of the following:
