Kimsan, I think the creation of graphical charts is easier in Excel than in Word. It's certainly easier to collect and arrange the data. Then it's just a matter of selecting one of the default graph types and letting it do its thing. Then you get a sighted person to tell you what you just created. With trial and error I think you can become fairly proficient.

Someone told me you can create charts in word is this true? If so, is it an inaccessible venture? If chart creation in word is a no no then excel would be the next best thing? Thanks for any input
