SUMMARY
If you place a Microsoft Excel for Windows version 3.0 chart on a worksheet, you cannot paste link that chart into Word for Windows. To perform a paste link with a chart you have placed on a worksheet in Excel, follow these steps:


 * 1) Select the chart in Excel.
 * 2) Click the chart tool on the ribbon. This places a copy of the chart in its own window.
 * 3) Press SHIFT.
 * 4) From the Edit menu, choose Copy Picture.
 * 5) Select either &quot;as shown on screen&quot; or &quot;as printed&quot; and choose OK.
 * 6) Close the window that was opened for the chart by double-clicking the chart tool.
 * 7) Place the insertion point where you want the chart to appear in the Word for Windows document.
 * 8) From the Edit menu, choose Paste Special (Paste Link in version 2.x.)
