To create a chart from scratch:
1. From the Tools toolbar's
Table Tools flyout, select
Chart Tool.
2. On the context toolbar, from the Chart drop-down list, select a
chart type.
3. Click on the page or drag out the chart to the desired size.
At this point, the chart is just a placeholder, using sample data
automatically added to the Chart Data tab. You can edit this sample
data using your own data, name your row/column headers, and even
add extra rows and columns to suit additional chart data—by default,
each row represents a separate colour-coded series component.
To edit data in the Chart Data tab:
1. Click
Chart Data under the selected chart.
The Chart Data tab displays temporarily in the workspace.
