which
you would like to insert the graph.

the bottom of the screen, re-launch Excel and click once on your chart
(handles will appear around the object)

mouse button, click and select COPY from the menu
Step Four:
Return to your PowerPoint presentation and paste the graphic

Do you have a document
that you use over and over again? Why not make it a template so that
the original format will always be available regardless of how many times
you use it.
Creating
a Template
(Find
additional help from the HELP menu within Word)
Every
Microsoft Word document is based on a template.
A template determines the basic structure for a document and contains
document settings such as AutoText entries, fonts, key assignments,
macros, menus, page layout, special formatting, and styles. The two basic
types of templates are global
templates and document templates. Global templates, including the Normal template, contain settings that are available to all documents.
Document templates, such as the memo or fax templates in the New
dialog box, contain settings that are available only to documents based on
that template. For example, if you create a memo using the memo template,
the memo can use the settings from both the memo template as well as the
settings in any global template. Word provides a variety of document
templates or you can create
your own.
Creating a Brand New
Template
- Do one
of the following:
- To base a new
template on an existing document, click Open on the File
menu, and then open the document you want.
-
To base
a new template on an existing template, click New on the File
menu. Click a template that is similar to the one you want to create,
click Template under Create New, and then click OK.
- On the File
menu, click Save As.
- In the
Save
as type box, click Document Template. This file type will
already be selected if you are saving a file that you created as a
template.
- The
default folder is the Templates folder in the Save in
box. To save the template so that it will appear on a tab other than General,
switch to the corresponding subfolder within the Templates
folder.
- In the
File
name box, type a name for the new template, and then click Save.
- In the
new template, add the text and graphics you want to appear in all new
documents that you base on the template, and delete any items you
don't want to appear.
- Make
the changes you want to the margin settings, page size and
orientation, styles, and other formats.
- Save
and then click Close on the File menu.
- To use
your new template, you have to access the template folder by clicking
on the File, New pull down menu. You will now see
your new Template listed.
HINTS:
- To make
AutoText entries and macros available only to documents based on this
template, store them in this template, not in the Normal
template.
- If you
save a template in the Templates folder, the template appears
on the General tab when you click New on the File
menu. In Microsoft Windows 95 or 98, the Templates folder is
located by default in either the C:\Windows_folder\Application
Data\Microsoft folder or the C:\Windows_folder\Profiles\User_name\Application
Data\Microsoft folder. In Microsoft Windows the Templates
folder is located by default in the C:\Windows_folder\Profiles\User_name
folder. If you want to create custom tabs for your templates in the New
dialog box, create a new folder in the Templates folder and
save your templates in that folder. The name you give that folder will
appear on the new tab.
