I'm creating a mail merge in Word, using a large Excel data source. The
file contains multiple names, with various associated data.
I want to create an individualized chart for each name, using data
associated with their name in the Excel data source file. One customized
chart per name, merged into the Word document.

Can this be done.

I cannot figure out how to merge data into a chart.--- or is there a better
way?

Please help if you can..


What you want to do is something that is requested every so often.
However, there is no native way to do it nor is there a simple
workaround to the problem.

In fact, the only solution I can think of is rather complicated. It
would involve creating a mail merge document with the chart showing some
arbitrary data. Once the merged document is ready, a macro would then
go through the document and update the charts to contain the correct
data for each individual. At this point one could print the document,
separate the pages, and distribute them to the appropriate individuals.

An alternative may be to find an add-in that supports this capability.
I don't know of any such add-in or even if one exists and if it does
whether it is free or a priced item.
