Creating Charts

 In a pie chart, only a single data set—the first data point in each series—is

represented on the chart (whichever is listed first in the Chart Data Editor).

Adding a Chart

To place a chart on the slide canvas:

1

Choose Insert > Chart (or click Chart in the toolbar).

A chart containing placeholder data appears on the slide, and the Chart Inspector and

Chart Data Editor open.

2

To resize the chart, drag a selection handle.

3

To reposition the chart, drag it (avoid placing the pointer on a selection handle).

4

To change the chart type, choose an option from the pop-up menu in the Chart

Inspector.

You can also draw a chart on a slide.

To draw a chart on the slide canvas:

1

Hold down the Option key and click Chart in the toolbar.

2

Release the Option key, and move the pointer over the slide canvas until it becomes a

crosshair.

3

Drag across the slide canvas to create a chart any size you want.

To constrain the chart’s proportions, hold down the Shift key as you drag.

Choose from eight
different chart types in
the Chart Inspector.
