Powerpoint tip:

Presentations with audience appeal

Give your PowerPoint presentations audience appeal by using graphics to help convey your message. Remember pictures paint a thousand words.

PowerPoint makes it easy to add graphics to your presentation by providing several slide layouts which allow you to insert charts or diagrams.

1. Insert a new slide (Insert - New Slide or Ctrl + M).

2. Use the Slide layout task pane to change the slide layout to 'Title and diagram or organisation chart' or 'Title and chart' - simply click on the layout you require to change the existing slide layout.

3. Double click on the diagram or chart placeholder on the slide to create your diagram or chart.

You can also create a diagram or organisational chart using the appropriate button from the Drawing toolbar.
