Word 2007 Data Charting features

We've grown accustomed to using Word to edit a document, using Excel to work with data-generation data graphs. Although it also has the ability to generate data graphs in earlier versions of Word, it is somewhat thin. Word2007 has made a great improvement in data charting, as long as you do not require complex data analysis, Word2007 can help you in the decorative and aesthetic aspects of the data chart for professional-level processing.

After a simple trial of the Word2007 graph processing function, I found that the powerful style library provided by the author can really merge with the imagination, and make beautiful charts with magnificent and varied styles. The following is a simple example to illustrate the production process of Word2007 chart, the right to be a trigger, hope that the broad masses of readers extrapolate, use this function.

The order in which Word2007 charts are produced is:

Select chart Type-Organize raw data-chart Design-chart layout-chart format.

All of the content word is done independently, without the need for additional Excel.

1. Select chart type

First you need to select the appropriate chart based on the characteristics of the data. Click Insert-Chart to eject the Create Chart window. Since the selected example is a group of data that varies with the temperature of the pressure, in order to reflect the trend of change, we need to select an xy (scatter) chart in the data type, so we use a smooth curved field to concatenate them, because they are intercept data at equal intervals.

Word provides up to 10 types of charts, and the following are the data features that are applicable to the various chart types summarized.

2. Organize the original data

After you determine the chart type, a series of changes will occur, please be patient. The sample data that is built into the chart type you choose appears on the right side of the screen. The majority of users in the past operation process often encounter the generation of charts and the ideal type of problem, the reason is mostly in the data format error. So the purpose of the sample data is to guide you through data entry in the format.

When you change the data, the left side of the chart will display real-time data information, which is a major feature of Word2007, is very intuitive. At this point, the upper tool area is also converted to chart related, and then we will focus on using them to decorate the chart grass table and data.

There are two items of data: "Temperature" and "pressure". Use the edit data source on the toolbar to bring up the data Editing window, where you can manipulate the details of the chart data area, data switching, and additions and deletions. Until the left chart window appears our expected sketch.

3. Graphic Design

Chart design is mainly "quick layout" and "Quick Style", the operation is simple. Keep the chart selected and click on the function key shown in the thumbnail.

A quick Style is primarily a landscaping design based on the type of chart. There are as many as 60 built-in styles available in the polyline type, and there must be one for you. After these two processing, the appearance of the chart has a rough look, but also need to work on the details, the following into the layout of the chart.
