"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews. Today I'm going to show you how to make a graph using Microsoft Word. So let's open up Word by clicking on our start button at the bottom. Let's go to All Programs. Let's find Microsoft Office. We just want to click on Word. Now to create your graph in Word, all you have to first is go to the very top. And find the insert tab. Then we're going to find here the low icon that's for a graph. There's these little three bars hanging over each other. Just click on that. Select the type of graph you want to do. I just want to do a regular column chart. And click o.k. And as you can see, my Word is over here. and it's just opened up Excel, on, right next to it. What that allows me to do is, edit the data that's come up here in that chart. So I'm going to type in here, the names of my employees. And for the first series, I'm going to do number of sales. Second series, I'm going to do repeat customers. And on my third series, I'm going to do new customers. Let's say, Dave made a hundred sales. Ten repeats and twenty new customers. I'll just kind of, fill this in here with some information. I'm just kind of, making it up as I go along. Now if I would close out of Excel. You can see, that the chart has been created withing Word. Using the output from that Excel document. There are my employees and here is the graph. And then over here you have the legend. My name is Dave Andrews.
