The real challenge is editing the chart after it's part of your presentation, because the charting tools are different between the applications. With the shared charting engine in the 2007 Microsoft Office system, you can use the same charting tools to create and customize your charts in Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, and Microsoft Office Word 2007. To insert a chart in Excel 2007, click the Insert tab, and then select the type of chart you want from the Charts group. To customize an existing chart, click inside the chart, and then use the contextual Chart Tools command tabs that appear on the Ribbon.
