Chart from word data

$

 Good morning dear friends,

I have a problem with Chart in MS word 2010.

Task: Prepare word docx (e.g. sample.docx) with chart. Chart data are stored in text form fields, bookmarked A1 ....etc. When change fields values, chart must recalculate and refresh. No excel data editing !

Solution: I prepare sample.docx, with chart. Insert table which contains fields. On every field I call "recalculate" macro. 

Problems: I cannot find my chart in ActiveDocument.InlineShapes. The collection is empty - see code below.


Sub recalculate()
    'values form fields
    A1 = ActiveDocument.FormFields("A1").Result
    A2 = ActiveDocument.FormFields("A2").Result
    'etc ..... others

   'find chart and necessary objects
    Dim shp As InlineShape
    Dim chartCurrent As Chart
    Dim chartCurrentData As ChartData
    Dim chartWorkSheet As Excel.Worksheet
    
    For Each shp In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
       If (shp.haschart) Then
          Set chartCurrent = shp.Chart
          Set chartCurrentData = shp.Chart.ChartData
          Set chartWorkSheet = shp.Chart.ChartData.Workbook.WorkSheets(1)
        End If
    Next shp

   'Fill data with new values 
    If Not (chartWorkSheet Is Nothing) Then
        chartWorkSheet.Range("B2").FormulaR1C1 = A1
        'etc ......... others
    End If

End Sub

Question: How to find my chart in document ? I'd like to set the chart object some attribute (e.g. Title = "MyChart") and find it using this attribute .

Thank you very much and nice day to all. 


Marian
