SF- Study Guide: Presentations - Creating a Slide Containing a Chart

Although the majority of slides seem to be lists of information, there are many other slide layouts. Often a chart is a good method of presenting information. Our travelers might want to know the average temperatures in the countries they will be visiting.

SLIDE FOUR

Select New Slide and choose the chart layout from the choices.

SLIDE FOUR

For the title of the fourth slide, enter ‘March Temperatures’. Notice that the lower area of the slide looks very different from the bulleted lists layouts that were used before. This is because you chose the chart layout. Double-click the icon center in the lower area of the slide. This will bring up a sample chart and a datasheet that holds the data that controls the chart.
When you are entering the data in the datasheet, first click in the cell that you want to enter the data in and then type in the data. Move to the next cell by clicking in the cell and enter the data and so on.
Enter the following data in the datasheet:

	London	Paris	Russia	Home
High	67	63	58	75
Low	42	38	28	49
Average	53	48	32	62

Once you are sure that the data is entered correctly, click in an empty area of the screen; the datasheet should disappear and the slide should display a nice looking chart of the March temperatures.
Your slide should look similar to the sample below. Have you been remembering to save your work?

You have now completed four of the five slides.
Note:Charts that have been created in the spreadsheet program can also be included in a slide by selecting and copying the chart in the spreadsheet and then pasting the copied chart into a slide.
