i have been having a problem of exporting a TA chart to a existing MS
word document.
i am a noob when it comes to programming. Is there an easy way of
doing so ?
Any help regarding the problem will be appreciated.
thank you very much for the attention:)

You can start by copying to clipboard as bitmap or save to file
(several formats supported):
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i  
Chart1.CopyToClipboardBitmap; 
Chart1.SaveToFile(TPortableNetworkGraphic, 'chart.png');I'm sure there
are several different ways of doing this, this is just to get you
started.

Look at the demos "save", "wmf" or "fpvetorial" in the folder
(lazarus)/components/tachart/demo/save of your Lazarus installation.

If you are on Windows only I'd recommend the wmf export which is well-
understand by Word. See the "wmf" demo. You can even copy the chart to
the clipboard as a metafile. But note: Since wmf support is Windows-
only the required package TAChartWMF is not installed by default
(Select menu "Package" > "Install/Uninstall packages", find TAChartWMF
in the right list of packages "available for installation", Click
"Install selection", then "Save and rebuild IDE" -- this takes some
time after which Lazarus restarts with the new package installed.).
