Add a pie chart to your Word document using the built-in chart feature or by pasting one from our free generator.
Launch Microsoft Word and open the document where you want to add a pie chart. Place your cursor at the exact location in the document where the chart should appear.
Go to Insert > Chart on the ribbon. In the Insert Chart dialog, select 'Pie' from the list on the left, choose a pie chart style (such as 2-D Pie), and click OK. Word will embed a chart and open a small Excel-like spreadsheet for data entry.
Replace the sample data in the pop-up spreadsheet with your own categories and values. Close the spreadsheet when finished — the chart in your document will update automatically to reflect your data.
Click the chart and drag its handles to resize it. Use the Layout Options button to set text wrapping — 'In Line with Text' keeps the chart anchored to your text flow, while 'Square' lets text wrap around it.
For a quicker and more flexible approach, create your pie chart with our free online generator, download it as PNG, and insert it into Word via Insert > Pictures. This gives you more color and styling options and works even if you do not have a full Office license.
Practice what you learned with our interactive pie chart editor below. The chart is pre-filled with sample data to get you started.
