On this lesson we want to work with
editing the Pie chart. Now we've created the
pie chart in the previous step. I want to move the chart within the sheet, just click on
any part of the chart area and it will move just like an object. If I wanted to put the
chart as its own sheet, if you look at
your chart tools format tab and then look at
the chart tools design tab. Those are our 2 contextual tabs that are added. Over on
the right you have a location group. This
is the proper way to move a chart to
another sheet. So I'm going to
click on Move Chart and notice there is a button to choose new sheet and here you can title the chart to. So i'll
call the sheet Pie Chart and we'll call that sheet tab Pie Chart now. And now it's in it's own sheet we get
the same 2 contextual tabs. If I wanted
to format the chart area and make it a
different color I could right click on
it. Then go down to format chart area
as one method. Then get a little dialogue
box here on the right and I could go click on
fill and then solid fill and notice it
chooses the default color of blue. Then I can go to the color palette
change it to another color. If I want to manipulate a single piece of pie. I select one piece
of pie by clicking once and then clicking twice. it's not a double click so if I click once and then click twice.
Now I have this green piece of pie
selected. If I go to format or I can
right-click I could change the color.
This time I go to format and notice there's
an option for shape fill and I can
change the color here. As far as selecting a
single piece of pie lets say I want to explode one piece of pie. To explode just means
to pull it away. So I'm going to click once
and then a second time on this orange
piece and notice I can slightly pull it away. And that's how you manipulate a pie chart.
