Creating a MSGraph in Word

The code below works fine, if I wanted to open up a new document, insert a graph, and formatt it as needed. However I would like to use a template which then would contain all relative formatting and would only require data values to be updated. However from Word once I put the graph object into edit mode I cannot determine how to insert the new data values or to put it another way I cannot get a pointer to the MSGraphChart.

Thank You

'** Works for a new document and new chart


Dim oWordApp As Word.Application
Dim oWordDoc As Word.Document
Dim r As Integer, c As Integer
Dim oShape As Word.Shape
Dim oGraphChart As Graph.Chart

'Create a new document in Word.

Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oWordApp.Visible = True
Set oWordDoc = oWordApp.Documents.Add

'Add some text to the document.
oWordDoc.Content.Text = "This is my new chart:"

'Embed a chart on the document.
Set oShape = oWordDoc.Shapes.AddOLEObject(Left:=100, Top:=100, Width:=350, Height:=200, _
ClassType:="MSGraph.Chart", DisplayAsIcon:=False)
Set oGraphChart = oShape.OLEFormat.Object

Selection.ShapeRange(1).OLEFormat.DoVerb VerbIndex:=wdOLEVerbPrimary
With oGraphChart

'*** Graph commands
End With


'** Where I am at

Dim oWordApp As Word.Application
Dim oWordDoc As Word.Document
Dim r As Integer, c As Integer
Dim oShape As Word.Shape
Dim oGraphChart As Graph.Chart

'Create a new document in Word.

'*** Puts the graph object into edit mode
Set oShape = ActiveDocument.Shapes("Object 2").Edit

Selection.ShapeRange(1).OLEFormat.DoVerb VerbIndex:=wdOLEVerbPrimary
With oGraphChart

Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you just need to step away from the problem for a bit. The missing/needed code needed (for anyone intrested) after opening up the Word templates is


oWordDoc.Application.ActiveDocument.Shapes("object 2").Activate
Set oGraphChart = oWordDoc.Application.ActiveDocument.Shapes("object 2").OLEFormat.Object
