This isn't a VBA question, just a n00b word question.

How do I put 2 charts next to each other in a word doc as opposed to one on top of the other? I assume this has to do with wrap checked in some menu I'm not aware of.

Would help if you gave a little more information.

Charts? What kind of charts? Are they graphic images, imported as graphics? Excel charts, linked/embedded from Excel?

What version of Word?

word 2007. Just a normal chart like insert->chart (pick a type say bar chart). It puts it on it's own line and then the text follows afterwards regardless of whether or not you stretch the chart across the width of the page or make it smaller. So I'm trying to have 2 say bar graphs side by side created independently of each other. If need be I can upload a file

Those are, I believe, InlineShapes, so the answer would be no, you can't. Except...put them in a table, and make the table invisible. Voila. In the attached, the table is visible, but it is easy to change that.

By make the table invisible are you saying just set borders = none?

Yes.

Also, you can define the spacing between the charts by defining the spacing of the table...or use Styles.
