One Type of Content

The above graphic shows the Chart content slide layout. Initially PowerPoint displays a chart, (or graph) of default data. Once you enter your own data into the accompanying table the chart will automatically update to display the new information.

The way a chart is displayed can also be changed. Simply double-click on the item you wish to edit (for example - colors of the bar graph or size of fonts used) and make your changes. The chart will change immediately to show these new changes.
