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:

Run presentation manually

If you have saved slide timings but want to run the presentaion without the timings, choose Slide Show, Set Up Show command, and under Advance Slides, click on Manually. When you want the timings on again, select Using Timings, If present.
