How to Construct a Graph on Microsoft Word 2007

This article shows, step-by-step, how to create a graph in Microsoft Office Word 2007.

Steps

1
Go to the Insert tab. It is the tab directly to the right of the Home tab.
2
Click on Chart, until Illustrations.
3
Click on the different categories and scroll down to view types of graphs. They have much more than graphs--including tables, charts, and scatter plots. The categories are: Column, Line, Pie, Bar, Area, X Y (Scatter), Stock, Surface, Doughnut, Bubble, and Radar.
4
Suppose you choose a Line Graph. Click on the Line tab, and choose how you want your graph to look like. They have different options.
5
When you choose your graph and how you want it to look, another window will appear. It will be a spreadsheet--Microsoft Excel--all still inside the Word document. You should see Categories 1-4 and Series 1-3. Change them to change your data.
6
Within this window, there will be several more tabs: Home, Insert, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, Review, and View. You can use the Home tab to change the text--as far as fonts and colors. Play around with some of the other tabs for more options.
7
Simply x out of the Excel window and you'll return to Microsoft Word. Your customized graph will appear.
