| 2003 to 2007 Insert Chart Microsoft Office PowerPoint is a presentation program, not a data analysis tool. Why then does inserting a chart in a Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 presentation open a separate datasheet object for customizing chart data? Instead, you can work with chart data in a program that was designed to handle it—Microsoft Office Excel 2007. 1. In Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, click the Insert tab, and then click Chart in the Illustrations group. 2. Select the chart type you want, and then click OK. Notice the split-screen PowerPoint 2007/Excel 2007 view, in which you can edit your chart data in a familiar Excel environment. 3. To resize the chart data range, drag the lower-right corner of the range in Excel 2007 and watch the chart dynamically adjust on your PowerPoint 2007 slide.
