Rotating Chart in Word

**landlord** · 08-21-2010, 11:05 AM

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.

Works fine for me.

"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.

Apologies.

Someone else using my log in.

Original suggestion worked perfectly.

Thanks

Hi there,

Thanks!
