Inserting or Changing the Chart Type

Inserting a Chart/Changing the Chart Type

A chart displays the results of participant responses. The default chart type and display options, such as labels and value, can be defined in the Preferences.

Versions prior to 6.2 used MS Graph charts. Versions 6.2 and higher use Microsoft Excel charts on interactive polling slides.

To make a PowerPoint slide interactive, a TurningPoint chart must be added to the slide. Assuming that the PowerPoint slide is in Title and Content form, a chart can be added by following the steps below.

1. Select the polling slide.
   TIP

   Select more than one slide by holding down the Ctrl or Shift key on the keyboard.

2. From the TurningPoint ribbon click , mouse over Charts and select the desired chart.

   

    

   Vertical	Horizontal	3D Pie	Distributed Pie
   Offset	Doughnut	Responses Only

To change the current chart on the slide, select a different chart from the Objects menu.

To insert a Graph chart or to change the current chart on the slide to a Graph chart, uncheck Use Excel from the Objects menu. Click , mouse over Charts and select the desired chart.

The colors of Graph charts can be edited from the Slide Preference Pane. The colors of Excel charts can be edited from PowerPoint Chart Tools.

To remove the chart, simply delete the object from the slide.
