MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Word Version 5.00 does not import Windows metafiles because of the complexity of the task. As a consequence, the only way to import Microsoft Excel charts is by copying them to the Windows Clipboard as bitmaps, using the following procedure:


 * 1) Select the chart in Excel.
 * 2) Select the Edit menu while holding down the SHIFT key.
 * 3) Select the Copy Picture command while holding down the SHIFT key.
 * 4) Select “as shown on screen” while holding down the SHIFT key.
 * 5) Press ENTER or click OK while holding down the SHIFT key.
 * 6) Close Excel.

Inside Word Version 5.00, you may import the chart in the Windows Clipboard by either choosing Clipboard in the “filename:” field of the Library Link Graphics command, or executing the Insert Clipboard command.
