The MS Graph Tool should be debugged and greatly enhanced.

The MS Graph Tool is used for a great deal of technical information, in MS
Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. It has not been worked on by Microsoft since
1997. It still has bugs in it, it has not been enhanced, it makes a great
many assumptions about formatting, it limits document automation, and it is
not well supported by VBA macroing. Given the heavy use of this tool, it
would seem that Microsoft should focus some energy on improving it. This
would be much more helpful than adding to widgets to Office that we never use.
