1/4/05 Microsoft Power Point
In this Tech Tip, you will learn how to introduce the statistics of a chart separately, instead of showing them all at once. First thing's first. You have to make and insert your chart. This chart was made using Microsoft Excel. To insert your chart made in Excel, you can either copy (ctrl+c) the chart in Excel and past (ctrl+v) it in Power Point, or, in Power Point, you can go to insert (alt+f) and select chart. Once you have the chart in your presentation, it should look something like this, or similar.
Once you have that, or something like that, you need to go to Slideshow (alt+d) on the menu, and select custom animations. You will get a dialog box similar to this one, depending on which version of Power Point you are using. Newer versions may be different, but all of the options are essentially the same for what you are doing. You'll need to introduce the chart elements by their categories. To do this, click on the drop down menu as shown in the image below.
Select "by element in Category." This will make each bar in the chart show up individually when you're giving your presentation, similar to a bullet (if they are animated to do so). Feel free to experiment with other options as well. This chart was animated to "wipe" in the "up" direction.
Click the "OK" button to close the dialog box. Now when you are in slideshow view and you get to the slide with your chart, you can click next to display individual pieces of information at a time, instead of all of it at once. There you go, you've finished! This can be useful in a presentation when you don't want every one to see the information you are going to show at once. It can keep things simple and easy to take in, as well as keeping your audience's attention. - WebCrew, Kurt |
