Creating charts

WordPerfect lets you create and insert charts and graphs in a document. You can create a chart by using data in a table or a spreadsheet, or you can add data as you create the chart. A chart can be linked to a table so that the chart is updated whenever the table data changes. If you move the chart to a different place in the document, it maintains its association with the table.

This is an example of a data chart.

When you create a chart in WordPerfect, menus and tools from the Presentations application display. These menus and tools let you choose a chart type and edit the chart. You can choose from a variety of chart types, such as bar, line, and pie, and you can add chart attributes, such as a legend or frame. You can also use Presentations to add text to charts; however, the text is saved as part of the chart, rather than with the document. For more information, refer to the Presentations online Help.

You can create an organization chart to display the structure of an organization or the relationships of people and positions.

This is an example of an organization chart.

You can edit and update charts and graphs. You can also edit the data that the chart is based on.

You can use the data in a table to create a chart containing the same information. When you create a chart from a table, the two are associated. You can specify that charts associated with tables automatically update when you make changes to the data in the tables.

For more information about charts, refer to the Presentations online Help.
