Adding Charts to Slides

You can create your own professional-looking charts in PowerPoint using Microsoft Graph. Just replace the data in the sample datasheets with your own data. After your chart is inserted, you can select the chart (notice PowerPoint's menu options change) and edit the data or even change the chart type.

To create a graph chart:

1. Click the Insert Chart button on the Standard toolbar.
2. Click each cell in the sample Datasheet to replace sample data with your own.
3. Click the PowerPoint slide to close the Datasheet and view your chart.

	You can insert a slide with a chart placeholder by clicking the New Slide button and then selecting a layout with a chart in it. Select the Chart button in the placeholder and insert your chart. PowerPoint places the chart in the slide layout.
	Select Chart... from the Insert menu.
