You do it through the chart options. You can right click on the chart to do so. You can also go to the Insert tab, then the Chart Layouts group and then you can select a new chart type for a new chart. For an existing chart you can have it selected and choose a new chart from the options. Certain types of charts need certain types and amounts of data, so not every chart can be changed into all other chart types.

If I Insert a chart from Excel Into a Word document and it and change what has happen?

If you do a regular copy and paste, then the chart in the Word document will not change if the data in the Excel spreadsheet does. If you want it to always represent the data as it is the Excel document when it is changed, then you need to link the chart in the Word document to the spreadsheet. You can do it using the Paste Link facility.
