Microsoft Word is a great application for creating many types of documents for many different purposes. However, when it comes to making a document interesting and eye-catching for your audience, you are on your own. Word simply gives you the tools you need to put together a creative document. You need to know when and how to use them. Unfortunately, Word processing applications are not at the point where they can inject creativity for you.

One of the ways in which you can spice up a document is to include charts. Instead of just listing your data on a page, why not make it more exciting, reading and understandable by using a chart? Word 2002 makes it easy for you to add an organizational chart to your documents. Here is what you have to do.

1. Open your Word document.
2. Place the cursor in the location that you want the chart inserted.
3. From the Insert menu, click Diagram.
4. Six items will appear. Select the diagram that will best display your data.
5. Click OK.

A chart will automatically be inserted into your document. You can easily drag the chart to any location.
