How can i put a panel in a word document

Thank you for your answer but it raise another question:
How can i put a panel in a word document?
I remind you my problem:
I treat a text file, full with data representing measures, in order to build a report and some charts.
The problem is that having both a text file containing the report and some panel drawing the charts, I am unable to merge them in a only file for obtaining a relevant report.

Hello,
I have a suggestion, at least I do in the following way, which assumes I have a program like PaintShopPro or similar to manipulate images:
1) run the CVI application
2) when the screen shows what you want, press the "PrintScreen" button on the keyboard (or "Stamp", in italian). This causes the screen image to be loaded into the clipboard.
3) open the image processing program. If using PaintShopPro you have the command "Edit->Paste as new image", which creates a new image containing the screen dump.
4) resize, cut and modify the image and save it in an usual format, which can be included in a word document.
Best regards,
Marco

Just to improve the efficiency of this method (which I also use to create my programs' documentation), if you can run your program and word at the same time, you can use this sequence:
- run your program and open the word document
- when the desired panel is shown, press Alt+PrintScreen: this copies to clipboard only the active panel
- switch to word and simply press Ctrl+V (paste) to paste the panel image to your word document
That's all!

If you have PaintShopPro or similar program you can save the image in png format, that produces smaller images.

this method is not efficient for my program, because I need doing the operation described before AUTOMATICALLY.
That's the user must'n do anything.
I look forward your answers.
best regard
