Thank you for watching! I have a separate tutorial showing how to import an Excel table into Word, which you may find helpful: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qb91mdiEubPQc4k.html. If you are going to add data after importing the table, you may want to add the new data in Excel and then update the table in Word to ensure it flows correctly. Good luck!

I am not a programmer, but those who create this type of program, are walking backward instead of going advance. Why because if I am able to make one chart by hand in one hour but if it takes more than that to build it with this program meaning program designer did not get the point of having a computer. The computer is for making the job and life, easy for a human not for confusing humans.
