Introducing Microsoft Graph

Word 2002 relies on Microsoft Graph to help you create the charts you want in your documents. Microsoft Graph is a full-featured graphing utility that enables you to use any of the 14 different standard charts or the 20 built-in custom charts. You can also create your own custom chart types for those times when you need to show unique data relationships for your particular documents. Table 19-1 lists the various chart types you can create in Microsoft Graph.
