Today we learned how to insert charts into Powerpoint. Well, there are two ways to do this. The geeky way and the lazy way. The lazy way would be just copying the chart and pasting it to Powerpoint. But the bad thing about that is if you make any changes in the numbers then you have to do the chart that you pasted in Powerpoint all over again. So today we are going to look at the "geeky way" This is a good way because if you make any changes in the data and those changes will be made on the chart on Powerpoint too! Cool!!!!
Inserting a chart into Powerpoint:
1. Type in your data
2. Highlight the data that you have typed
3. Go to insert
4. Scroll down and click on Chart
5. Select your favourite type of graph
6. Before pressing finish click on "As New Sheet"
7. Press finish
8. Now your chart should appear on a different sheet
9. Save it
10. Open up the Powerpoint document
11. Go to insert
12. Scroll down and click on Object
13. Click on "Create from file"
14. Browse and find your file
15. Click on "Link to file"
16. Press o.k
Now the chart that you have saved on Excel should appear on the Powerpoint screen. It might be a long process but it's worth it. After this Mr. Case told us to make a chart and insert it into Powerpoint and see if it works. Mine worked. Yahoo!!!!!!!!!
