  6. Advantage:

  7. + once the image is saved onto the computer, it  can be manipulated to add other appropriate images to the chart 

Open Office:

In Open Office there are many different ways of placing a chart into a writer document

• 1. Saving the chart as an image, then inserting the image.  Just like #2 from Google Docs above.

  2. Insert | Object | Chart ...

  3. Allows to create a chart right in the writer document. The specific data must be changed to required data.

  4. Insert | Object | OLE Object ... |

  5. At this point there is the option to create a new chart OR one from a file.

  6. If a chart is created from a file, there is an option to link the chart to the file. This way as the data in the spreadsheet changes, so does the data in the writer document.
