I use German OOo1.9.125 on WinXP. The behavior is slightly different. The chart updates, if you chance a cell, which containes a number. It doesn't update if you change a row or column which is used as caption. The caption is updated as soon as you change a number. So there seems to be a defect. You can customize your toolbar to get a button for updating. It is the entry "All Charts" in the category "Edit". But it has no default icon. Because this is about the special writer-chart I do not know, if it belongs to component "Chart". I filed it for the component 'word processor' ;), also because the thing I
noticed only happened in the word processor (btw also 1.9.125 EN ('the standard
version?')). The behaviour in Calc was as expected (also captions are being
updated here).
What I did notice however is that when a new row is created, the Chart get's
updated. But still. Maybe the best option to get this temporary fixed as soon as
possible would be to put the update all charts button in the Charts-toolbar
(with a nice icon ;) ).
The chart will be updated every time the cursor will leave the table. But in times of GHz computers, it should be possible to offer a kind of "live-update". The live update function is indeed an enhancement (a better solution to the problem stated). Yet I would think of the difficulty to find any update function where expected (in the context menu, or in the diagram-menu-bar) as a UI defect. I submitted this bug as I had to ask on a mailinglist where to find this function (but maybe it's just me who has a problem with the current situation). I believe a simple repair of this UI-problem would be just a button on the context-sensetive menubar. The 'Tools > Update > All Charts' should only be used to update all charts, not just a single chart, imho. The edit table function (which is available when you don't select a writer-table fo the diagram) is far more easier to handle. I confirm that the chart doesn't get updated even when the cursor is moved out of the table. This used to work with OOo versions earlier than 2.0. This is still true with version 2.0.4. I'm glad this bug report exists, and mentions the "Tools -> Update -> All charts" command. Until I found this report, I couldn't figure out any way to update charts in Writer. This is really an interface usability bug! To quickly reproduce this issue, you can reuse this document: http://free-electrons.com/issues/ooo/nov5-2006/chart.odt Cheers, Michael. ->tl: When you implement the update for the new chart please consider if it would be easier to use this more desireable solution. If so I would vote to remove those extra update menu entries and replace them by a live update as the users are used to from the calc. But there might be a problem when charts are not loaded. added me to CC . Fixed in CWS chart2mst2. Currently only a repaint problem remains to be solved.

Also enabling/disabling the "Field" box does not have an effect on the "Chart" boy anymore. Thus toggling of automatic updates for charts is now fully a flag on it's own. If that flag is set and changes to a chart are made those changes will become available a moment after the cursor leaves the current cell. And this is right after formula fields in a table get updated, thus chart will get the correct value for every field. - sw/source/ui/config/optload.cxx - sw/source/ui/config/optload.src Also changed: - framework/embeddedobj/source/general/docholder.cxx Repaint problem solved for both: - newly inserted chart and - chart within a loaded document Files changed: - sw/inc/docsh.hxx - sw/source/core/doc/docchart.cxx - sw/source/core/doc/tblrwcl.cxx - sw/source/core/docnode/ndtbl.cxx - sw/source/core/edit/edtab.cxx - sw/source/core/unocore/unochart.cxx - sw/source/core/unocore/unoframe.cxx - sw/source/ui/app/docsh.cxx - sw/source/ui/wrtsh/wrtsh1.cxx . .
