In Closing
Let's really get "Snazzzyyy".
Click on the Chart 1 tab.
Click-once on your title at the top. A "box"
with little squares on the corners will appear. These are
"sizing grabbers". When you move the cursor over them you
will notice that the cursor changes to small, directional arrows. If
you click, hold down the left mouse button, and drag when you see
these arrows, you will notice that the Title Box gets larger or
smaller as you drag. Next, click-on the name of your
budget until you get a flashing cursor somewhere in the
title. With the arrow movement keys, or mouse, move
to the end of the title, to the right of the "t" in
Budget, and tap Enter. Type in Fall 2001. Now click
at the beginning of your name, hold down the left mouse button, and
drag to highlight the first line of the budget title with your
name in it. Keeping the cursor on the dark area, click the right
mouse button. Click on Format Chart Title. Change
the Font to Times New Roman (by moving up and down
with the arrows). As you change things you will see the results in
Preview on the lower right. Change the size to 28. Change the
color if you want. Click OK.
Click-on the upper right hand corner of your gray graph area.
You will see little squares now appear at the four corners
and sides of the graph area. Point to the upper right corner
square and move the cursor until you see an arrow with two
heads « . Hold
down the left mouse button and drag down and to the left then
let go. Your graph will get smaller. Now point somewhere in
an open gray area of the graph (not on one of the bars) and
click again. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the
graph area so it looks more "appropriate".
Click-on the Legend on the right. Then click right
in the Legend area. Click Format Legend. Click on Placement.
Click in the white circle to the left of Bottom. OK.
Now, doing the same thing you did with the graph, make the legend
larger and make the Income and Expense fonts larger.
Now let's look at your graph and then print it. Go to File -
Print Preview. If you like what you see go ahead and print
the graph. If not, close Preview and make some more graph changes.
Whenever your graph is visible, you can point
to any area of the graph, and click the right
mouse button on the area, and edit that particular
area. You can also click-right in the chart itself. In the
menu that appears, click-on chart type and then change the to
a different type of chart. TA DA!
Note: No matter what type of printer you have, graphs
take a while to print. In your room the printer will go slowly
line by line as it draws the graph. In the lab the computer will
"send" the entire graph picture to the laser printer.
Be patient.
