The previous section described how to create charts using PlanMaker and then copy them to your Presentations document. Alternatively, you can simply insert an empty chart into the Presentations document and then manually fill it with data.
To do so, proceed as follows:
Step 1: Insert an empty chart
First, insert an empty chart as follows:
| 1. | Move to the desired slide in your Presentations document. |
| 2. | Choose the ribbon command Insert | group Objects | Chart frame  to open the dialog box. (Click on the icon itself.) |
| Alternatively, you can click on the small arrow of the icon to list a dropdown menu with various chart types that you can insert directly by clicking on them. If you choose More here, the dialog box will be shown again. |
| 3. | In the dialog box, you can specify which type of chart you want to insert. To do so, select the required Chart type and Subtype. |
| 5. | The chart is now inserted. |
| You can then move or resize the chart: |
| To move the chart, click on it and (with the left mouse button still held down) drag it to the desired position. |
| To resize it, drag one of the round handles surrounding the chart. |
Step 2: Enter the data to be displayed
When you create a new chart, it is filled with the values 1, 2, 3, 4 by default. These values are just sample values to ensure that the chart is not completely empty when displayed. You should enter your own values here, of course.
To do so, proceed as follows:
| 1. | If the chart is no longer selected, click on it to select it. |
| The contextual ribbon tab Chart appears as soon as a chart has been selected. |
| 2. | Choose the ribbon command Chart | Edit data  . |
| 3. | A dialog box appears. In the Y values column, enter the values to be displayed in the chart. |
| 4. | When you have finished entering the values, confirm with OK. |
The chart now updates and displays the values that you have entered.
If you want to change the values again later, select the chart and choose the ribbon command Chart | Edit data again.
