Default Publisher 2002 Mail Merge with a Chart

Ok, Here it goes....
I'm using Publisher 2002 on Windows XP doing a Mail Merge from an Excel
spread sheet. (Before anyone tells me to change to a CSV, the spread sheet
is working just fine for now, but if I have problems I will change) The
problem I am having is that I want to make a chart on the Publisher Document
based on the Data from the Mail Merge. Is this even possible? I know that
just creating the chart from the Excel data with out linking it to the Merge
Fields will just put the same data on every chart regardless of what data
was merged. If it's not possible with Publisher, is it possible from Word?

Thanks in advance,
Jay A. Moritz

Jay, this is not an option in Publisher. The only work around I can think of
is actually have the chart created in Excel, and then OLE linking to that
chart in your excel book through Publisher.
