The document provides steps to insert a scatter chart in Microsoft Word: 1. Click Insert > Chart to select an X Y (Scatter) chart which allows plotting points on a coordinate plane. 2. Enter x- and y-values in the Excel worksheet to determine the chart's data range and where markers appear. 3. Change the chart title by clicking the title text box, or delete it if no title is wanted. 4.

Select the X Y (Scatter) chart. The first, default, chart is the easiest to work with
when you want a blank coordinate map, or if you want to plot points on the
coordinates.

Step 3

Click OK to accept the default XY (Scatter) chart. The chart opens on the Word
page, as well as an Excel-based worksheet. Note that the numbers in the
worksheet not only determine where the markers appear in the chart, but also
determine the chart's range. Because there are no negative numbers in the
default worksheet values, the chart's X and Y coordinates begin at 0.

Step 4

Enter the coordinates you want plotted in the chart by changing the numbers in
the X-values and Y-Values columns. You can add as many values as needed.
If you want a blank chart, change the first row of numbers to the smallest
numbers that you want displayed in the range. Change the second row of
numbers to the largest values to be displayed. For example, if the first row is -
5 and -5, while the second row is 5 and 5, the chart's X and Y range will both be
-6 to 6, with the zero-intersect appearing in the center.
Click the X in the worksheet window to close it.

Step 5

Change the chart title by clicking the Title text box. If you don't want a title,
press Delete to remove it.

Step 6

Right-click any coordinate point on the chart. If you want a blank coordinate
system without any points, click the Outline icon and select No Outline from the
drop-down menu. Right-click the point coordinate again, click the Fill icon and
select No Fill.
