Course Overview

Charts are useful for presenting numeric information in interesting, easily understood ways. Charts may be added to a presentation by clicking on the Chart Icon in the middle of the slide, or by clicking on the Chart option on the Insert tab and choosing an option from the Insert Chart window.

Charts data and titles may be edited in Excel. Colours and effects are available through the More Styles button in the Chart Styles group on the Design tab.

The Change Chart Type button in the Type group allows you to change the chart from, for example, Column to Bar.

The Format tab contains the commands for changing the colours and appearance of shapes within a chart.
