Create Charts with Microsoft Graph

If Microsoft Excel is not available, or if you have data in a table in your Word document, you can create charts with Graph. Graph is available from Word, PowerPoint, and Microsoft Access.

You can create the same types of charts in Graph that you can in Microsoft Excel, and the same formatting options are provided. Graph does not allow calculation, but you can enter, import, and edit data in the Graph datasheet.

Use Graph to create a chart in Word   Click where you want to insert the chart in the document. Or, if you want to base the chart on a table of data, select the table. Click Object (Insert menu), and then specify Microsoft Graph.

Use Graph to create a chart in PowerPoint   Display the slide you want to add a chart to, and then click the Insert Chart button.

Create a new slide in a presentation   In the New Slide dialog box (Insert menu), select an AutoLayout that includes a chart. After creating the slide, double-click the chart icon to start Graph.

Modify a chart created in Graph   Double-click the chart to open it, and then make changes by using the commands and toolbars that appear.
