Take Advantage of Powepoint's Built-in Chart Types

Microsoft Graph is the peripheral program which PowerPoint uses for built-in charts. To apply a set of formatting commands to a chart, use it by double-clicking a slide's chart object, then launch Microsoft Graph. Next, choose Chart Type from the Chart menu. In the dialog box that appears, choose either a tried-and-true chart type on the Standard Types page or a custom type. To access the custom chart types, click the Custom Types tab, click the Built-in option button in the Select From area of the dialog box, then click the type of chart you want on the Chart Type list. PowerPoint previews the selected custom chart type, complete with your chart's data. When you find the chart formatting you want, choose OK to apply it to your chart.
