How to Make a Pie Chart in Microsoft Word


1. Open up Microsoft Word 2007. Click on the 'Insert' tab.
2. Click on 'Chart' in the 'Illustrations' section.
3. Scroll through the chart templates in the box that comes up. Templates are arranged by type, so scroll down to the 'Pie' section. When you find a pie chart style that you like, click on it and then click 'OK.' The pie chart will open up in Word on half of the screen. Excel will open on the other half of the screen; this is where you will enter data.
4. Click on the cells in the Excel screen to rename the categories. Enter your own labels for what the slices of the pie will represent.
5. Change the title of the chart by clicking on the title in Excel and entering your own title.
6. Enter data for the pie chart into the Excel screen. Notice that as you enter data, the pie's slices change size. To add more categories, click on the cell where you want to add new information. Right click, select 'Insert' and then insert a row.
7. Change the layout of the chart by clicking on the 'Design' tab in Word. Click on 'Quick Layout.' A box will appear letting you choose a different layout. Click on one and the pie chart will change.
8. Change the colors of the chart in the 'Design' tab. Click on 'Quick Styles' in the 'Chart Styles' section. There are several color and texture options available for customizing the pie chart. Click on a color scheme and the chart will change color.
