Creating charts in Powerpoint

Is it easier to create a chart in Excel and paste this into a presentation or create from scratch in Powerpoint

RE: creating charts in Powerpoint

Hi Susan,
Thank you for your question,
In reply: This is one of those 6 or 2 x 3 questions, it depends on your requirements. The actual creation is not that much different in either program, possibly a bit easier in Excel.

I think creating in Excel and then linking to PowerPoint is better as the underlying chart data can be updated if the Excel worksheet data is changed, making your chart much more relevant. However this is purely my opinion. I hope that has helped ... Pete

Powerpoint tip:

Reset default toolbars in PowerPoint

If you find any of your toolbars in PowerPoint have changed (i.e. they are missing or have extra buttons) then you can reset them to their defaults.

1. Go to Tools - Customise.
2. Select the Toolbars tab.
3. Select (highlight) the name of the toolbar you wish to reset, then click the Reset button on the right.
4. Close the dialogue box.
