embbed excel charts in word

S

hi

i have embedded an excel chart into my word document. i did this
through inserting->object->create from file and picking the excel
file i wanted. this embedded the chart i wanted fine. the problem is
the when i move bits of the chart.

i want to move the legend so that it is in the graph area and not at
the side. when i have the embedded chart active (you see the worksheet
tabs and can select everything as if you were in excel) i can place the
legend exactly where i want. unfortunately when i return into word the
legend moved to a different location within the embedded chart.

if i copy the chart out of excel and paste is as a picture the
positioning is correct but then i can not edit it from within word

im not sure if i should do something in word or excel to fix this but
does anyone know how to make word not to change the positioning of the
legend within the embedded chart?

many thanks
