In this series of tips, were examining the built-in chart features of Word 2000. By default, Word 2000 opens a simple chart that lists three types of data over four periods, but this is only one of an infinite number of possibilities for charts. The kind of data youre dealing with--and the way you want to present it--will dictate the formatting for your chart.
First, you must insert a chart through selecting Insert, Picture, Chart. You can then choose the kind of chart you want to use through right-clicking on the chart and selecting Chart Type. Youll see upwards of a dozen unique types of charts in the left column, more than we ever knew existed, including Doughnut charts (which unfortunately have nothing to do with measuring how delicious doughnuts are), Radar charts, as well as Column charts. Click on the charts in the left column, as well as on the right youll see a handy one-line description and several examples of what the chart looks like. The best thing to do when youre just starting is to experiment with unique chart types to see which best expresses the kind of data youre dealing with.
