active chart- please help

[Rob]

I Made some charts in excel using existing data, and then copied and pasted
them to my Word document. But the probalem is whenever I brows the pages in
Word I have to wait for those charts to re-draw and get finish, and it makes
my document very slow to be browsed. I was wondering if there is a way so I
can have those charts like a picture or anything passive on my word Document.
Thanks a lot for any help.

Rob.

Rob,

In Excel, you can "take a picture" of the chart and then copy that picture
into your Word document. To do so, activate the chart in Excel by clicking
on it. Then, press and hold the Shift key down. Go to the Standard Toolbar
and select Copy -> Picture. At this point you can copy it into your Word
document.

Alternatively, you can use an Excel add-in such as John Walkenbach's Chart
Tools to export a picture of the chart as a .gif, etc. format. You can then
upload the .gif file (or other format) into your Word document. You can find
John's add-in at:
