Line Graph

I have created a line graph in PowerPoint with a bell shaped curve, and I would like to shade in certain areas on the graph

RE: Line Graph

Dear Katy

Thank you for attending PowerPoint Inter/Adv course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

I would be interested in knowing if you created the chart in PowerPoint using the Charts facility or by using the drawing shapes from the drawing toolbar!

Please let me know and then i should be able to help you further!!


Kindest Regards

RE: Line Graph

Hi Rajeev

I created the chart in PowerPoint using the Charts facility. There is a certain area on the chart which i would like to shade in, but i don't want grid lines to appear on the rest of the chart.

Many thanks and kind regards

Katy

RE: Line Graph

Dear Katy

Thank you for your response! Normally when you click inside the chart and then move around a yellow box (called the Tool Tip) should be able to tell you which element of chart you want to work with. There should be one called Plot area.

Plot area is the area where the data has been plotted and therefore when you click on it you should be able to shade that area by choosing the Fill colour option on the drawing tool bar (this should look like a small bucket)

Please ensure that you double click on the chart otherwise PowerPoint will assume that you are working with a picture and not a chart!

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards

PowerPoint tip:

Rearrange bulleted text quickly

Here are some handy shortcut keys for rearranging bullet points on your slides.

Simply click anywhere within the bullet point you wish to reposition; then hold down Shift + Alt then use the Arrow Up or Arrow Down key depending on which direction you want to move the bullet point in (up or down).

The bullet point will move up or down one bullet point at a time.
