    Rotating Chart in Word

    How can I rotate a chart, pasted from excel (linked data)?
    Dont want to have to go through the whole thing of rotating every page that has a chart on it, making diffferent section breaks etc.
    Has to be an easier way.
    Oh, and making it a picture wont do, as it is a linked data chart.

    Thanks in advance

    You can create a textbox and place the chart in the textbox. Then rotate the textbox.

    Avoid pie charts with more than two data points. Why? See here (pdf, 559 kb). The only acceptable pie chart is here.

    Re: Rotating Chart in Word

    "Doesn't work" is not good enough. I tested this in Office 2010 before posting the suggestion. It works.

    It won't work in Office 2003, because you can't rotate a textbox. But you run 2010 according to your profile.

    Explain what does not work.
