Click on New Slide button once again. 

For this slide we’ll be creating a bar chart of what jam/jelly folks like the most in their peanut butter sandwiches. To create this type of slide we’ll start by clicking-on the same image we did for Slide 3. In the lower right corner of your screen you should still see the image to the right. Click-on the left image as you did before.

The center portion of your screen should look like the one at the top of Page 9.

Click on the Click to Add title text box and type: Why use strawberry jam?

Click on the · Click to add text box and type:

100 Children and adults were surveyed to find out what goes best with peanut butter. 33 Selected grape jelly, 11 honey, 46 strawberry jam and 10 sliced bananas (you don’t have to tap enter, as this is one long statement).

Now we’ll make a graph to show the survey data.

In the right side area of the slide we’ll click on the center small icon in the top row (it looks like a bar chart – see arrow at right). When you click-on this icon the images on the next page will appear.

At the top of the slide you will see an image that looks like the one below. This is called a datasheet. If you have used any spreadsheet (like Microsoft Excel) you will be familiar with this format. If not, it won’t be a problem for what we are going to do.

Below the above image you will see an image like the one on the right. The data in the above image created the bar chart you see to the right. As you enter data you will see the chart on the right change to reflect our data entries.

We are going to enter data for our graph in this Datasheet (at the top of this page). Your Datasheet should now look like the one at the top of the next page. Click-on the box with "East" and replace "East" with (type-in) Grape, then "West" with Honey, "North" with Straw, and in the blank cell (box) below Straw enter Banana. Now, click on "1st Qtr" and type-in Best. Now click-on the cell (box) in the "A" column next to Grape and enter 33, then by Honey enter 11, by Straw enter 46, and by Banana enter 10. After you have entered the 10, click at the top of your datasheet on the word Best.

We want a simple graph that "fills" our graph area, so we need to delete the rest of the columns. To do this, put your cursor on the B in the Gray area at the top of the Datasheet. Click and hold down the left mouse button and drag right (over the Gray B, C and D) until B, C and D are highlighted (as shown below). Release the mouse button. Your Datasheet should now look like this:

Now tap the Delete key on the keyboard and the columns you have highlighted will disappear.

Your Datasheet should now look like this:

Click the small "X" in the upper right hand corner of the Datasheet.

If you did everything right, your graph should look like this:

Every now and then you might make a mistake in the Datasheet. If you have "closed" the datasheet, as we did above (when we clicked-on the small X), you can get it back by clicking-on the Datasheet button below the Menu Bar.

You may or may not desire to alter the appearance of your graph. It should be OK. However, the graph may need some adjusting, so that all of the "words" show completely. You may want to change the size of the box the graph is in, so click-on the graph. Click-on the side, using the "grabber" boxes on the side like you did previously, and drag the side until the graph gets larger. If you make the graph wider, the word "Best" will move to one line. Click-on the legend (the box with the grape, honey, etc. inside) and move that whole box to the top right hand part of the graph figure to make it more legible. Work with the various parts of the graph until it looks OK. If you make any changes, click-away from the graph to "turn off" the "box" around the graph – so you can see the new slide button.
