To copy a chart from Google Forms into Word, open the form, go to the Responses tab, find the summary chart you want, click the copy icon in its top corner, then paste it into your Word document with Ctrl + V. The chart pastes as an image. For a sharper or editable version, copy the matching chart from the linked Google Sheets responses instead.

Troubleshooting

- Chart looks blurry in Word: Paste the Sheets version, or insert a higher-resolution screenshot.
- Want the data too: Link responses to Sheets from the Responses tab.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit the chart once it’s in Word?
Not if it pasted as an image. Use a chart copied from Sheets, or rebuild it from the data in Word.
Why is the pasted chart small?
Drag a corner handle to resize it. Hold Shift to keep the proportions.
Does this work in Google Docs instead?
Yes, and a Sheets chart pasted into Docs can stay linked so it updates.
