RE: How do I set a default bar chart in Powerpoint?

Hi Maddie,

Thanks for the question.

The first thing you need to do is create the type of chart you want to be you default chart.

Then use the Chart menu and go down to Chart Types. Click on to the tab that says "Custom Types" and click the button that says User Define.

Then click Add

Finally click the button at the bottom that says "Set As Default"

Good Luck

Tracy

Powerpoint tip:

Display pictures inside shapes

Here is a suggestion for adding a professional touch to your presentations: displaying pictures within shapes. This can look particularly good if you use pictures within circles or stars.

To create this effect, draw a shape on your slide from the Drawing toolbar.

Click on the Fill Color button found on the Draw Toolbar usually found at the bottom of the screen; or alternatively right-click on the shape and select 'Format Autoshape'.

Select the Fill Effects option then the Picture tab. Use the 'Select picture' button to find the picture on your computer, then click Insert. Selecting the 'Lock picture aspect ratio' helps to keep the picture in proportion.
