PowerPoint tips and tricks

PowerPoint graphs & charts

Graphs are a common component to most presentations, but they aren't always used correctly. An effective graph can show a trend, support your message, explain a situation, amongst other things. This video presentation explains how to use and create graphs and charts effectively. It shows the common mistakes people make and how to avoid them. It then teaches you how to create live and non-live graphs and charts in PowerPoint, that will help engage your audience and get your message across.
