Inserting charts

empower® charts functions are accessed via the Home or Insert tab in the PowerPoint® menu. If you also use empower® slides you have the possibility to use empower® charts directly from either the Insert  tab or directly via the empower® slides ribbon tab. Depending on the empower® slides version, there is either a normal button or a split button on the ribbon. In the case of a split button, clicking on the lower half of the split button will open the window with the chart types.

To insert a chart, click on empower® chart and select one of the available chart types.

If you have previously selected a placeholder on your slide, empower® charts will insert the selected chart directly into the selected placeholder. To edit the chart – either its appearance or data – simply select the chart. An Action Bar will appear above the chart which will allow you to make the desired changes. Many formatting can also be done directly in the chart, e.g., coloring elements or moving data labels.
