Charting in powerpoint

hi

hoping you can help me - We have been experiencing a problem in powerpoint when you insert a new chart it automatically inserts one with 4 category rows and 3 series columns - however even through the data is there (and the blue box is around all data) the 3rd series column does not show. This doesn’t happen all the time but im not sure why its happening and wondered if you have experienced this before?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

RE: charting in powerpoint

Hi,

Can you take a screen shot of this for me and email it so i can see what is happening? It would be helpful if the screenshot was taken with the PowerPoint and excel on screen showing the data selected (blue border) and the chart with only 2 series showing.


Thanks

sorry my bad- just realised the 3rd bar added automatically colours itself white so it looks like its not there even though it is!!

PowerPoint tip:

Embedding fonts in a presentation

If you create a PowerPoint presentation which is likely to be viewed on other computers, there can be problems with displaying the font/s you have used in your presentation when it is opened on other machines.

You can embed the fonts you use in your presentation in order to try and get around this issue.

When you go to save your presentation (File - Save as), go to the Tools button at the top of the Save As dialogue box and select Save Options. Under 'Font options for current document only', tick the Embed TrueType fonts option, then select the secondary option underneath that applies best to your situation.

Click OK, then Save.
