Changing the Orientation of Your Chart

Summary: You can adjust whether your data is plotted by row or by column. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

When you first work with information in Microsoft Graph, the information in the datasheet is plotted by row. Thus, each row represents a piece of data in your series. This is fine for some data, but you may want to look at information plotted by column, instead. To change the orientation of your chart, simply specify how you want to look at the data using options in the Data menu:

  • If you want your data plotted by row, choose Series in Rows.
  • If you want your data plotted by column, choose Series in Columns.

Tip #709 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 | 95 | 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003


Take Control! Master the real power behind Word! Successfully master the secrets of powerful formatting and create documents that stand out from the rest. Best of all, you can create documents that are easy to maintain and quick to change.
