Hello,

I'm having trouble with charts. Word gives me a error every time I try to create a chart in Word (or edit it in Excel). The error is "To insert a chart, you must first close any open dialog boxes or cancel editing mode in Microsoft Office Excel."
I've tried to deselect all the birdies in Excel. Excel -> Preferences -> Edit. But it has no effect so to create a chart I must first close Word. Then open Excel and create a chart. Copy that chart. Exit Excel and paste it to Word which is kinda the slowest way to do it.
