In the May 2004 issue on page 21 they have a area chart that they created in
PPT and import it to Photoshop and pasted a picture in the area chart. How did they just bring in the area chart and not the lines and other stuff? |

How did they just bring in the area chart and not the lines and other stuff? You can turn most anything ... axes, grids, area border ... off by assigning them no outline/no fill in MSGraph or Excel's Charting, whichever you use. Looks like they've turned off everything but the area itself. Actually it'd be simpler to create the area chart, ungroup a copy of it and choose just the area polygon to copy to Photoshop. You understand, of course, that the very minute you hit "Save" on the finished Thing Of Beauty once it's been to Photoshop and back to PPT, that within five seconds, the phone will ring. It will be the boss telling you about one more minor change to the numbers on the chart. C'mon, what are you crying about. It's a computer, right? Just doubleclick the graph and change the numbers. Sheesh. (but make it real purty like the one in that there Presentations mag, 'kay?) ;-) By the way, you might instead want to try using a picture fill for the area chart in MSGraph. Then it *would* be simple to change the numbers. -- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Featured Presenter, PowerPoint Live 2004 October 10-13, San Diego, CA www.PowerPointLive.com ================================================ |
