                  Questions and Answers: Excel 3.0 Chart
               --------------------------------------------


1. Q. How can I place a chart directly on a worksheet? Once I place a chart
      on a worksheet, how can I make changes to the chart?

   A. There are two methods to place (or "embed") an Excel chart on an
      Excel worksheet. The first method requires a mouse. The second method
      uses either the keyboard or a mouse. Placing a chart on a worksheet
      is not possible in Excel version 2.0.

      a. This four-step method requires a mouse:

            1) Select the data on the worksheet you want to chart.

            2) With your mouse, point and click on the Charting tool on the
               Excel tool bar. The Charting tool is the fourth icon from
               the right on the tool bar. Once you have selected the
               Charting tool, your mouse pointer will change into a cross
               hair. Position the mouse pointer on the worksheet where you
               to want place the upper-left corner of the chart. Hold down
               the left mouse button and drag the mouse pointer down and to
               the left. This will cause a dotted line to be drawn on your
               worksheet in the shape of a square. Continue dragging until
               the dotted square is the size you want your chart to be.
               Release the left mouse button. The embedded chart will be
               created.

            3) To make changes to the chart, double click the chart using
               the mouse. This will place the chart in its own window. You
               can now make changes to the chart. When you have completed
               your changes, choose Close from the File menu.

            4) If you do not see the tool bar across the top of the screen,
               choose Workspace from the Options menu and make sure that
               the tool bar option has a check mark in the box next to it.
               If you do not see the tool bar option listed in the
               Workspace dialog box, you are probably using Excel version
               2.0.

      b. The following three-step procedure can be performed using either
         the keyboard or a mouse:

            1) Select the data on the worksheet you want to chart. Now
               select the File menu, choose New and choose Chart. Excel
               will create a chart. You may now make changes to the chart.

            2) When you have completed your changes, choose Copy from the
               Edit menu. Select the Window menu and select your worksheet.
               Now position the active cell on the worksheet where you want
               the upper-left corner of the chart. Then choose Paste from
               the Edit menu.

            3) If you do not want to make further changes to the chart,
               select the Window menu and choose your chart. Now close the
               chart by choosing Close from the File menu. Save changes to
               the chart only if you want to make further changes to the
               chart at a later date.

      For more information regarding embedded charts, please refer to page
      534 of the "Microsoft Excel User's Guide."

2. Q. I want to change the order in which chart data is plotted, the names
      used in the legend, and the range of worksheet data plotted. How can
      I easily do this?

   A. Microsoft Excel allows you to directly modify the order in which
      charted data is plotted, the range of data plotted from a worksheet,
      and the name used for the data series in the legend or the chart
      title. This feature is only available with Excel version 3.0 or
      later.
   
      This feature is outlined in the following three-step operation:

      a. First activate the chart by selecting the Window menu and choosing
         the chart. If the chart you want to change is an embedded chart,
         double-click on the chart by using your mouse.

      b. Choose Edit Series from the Chart menu. Microsoft Excel will
         display the Edit Series dialog box. From within this dialog box
         you can edit chart information. For example, to change the data
         series name used in a legend, select the series name you want from
         the Data Series list.

      c. Select the Name edit box and enter your new name. To execute the
         change, choose either the Define or OK button.

      For more information regarding the Edit Series feature of Excel,
      please refer to pages 442-443 of the "Microsoft Excel User's Guide,"
      or press the F1 key when the Edit Series dialog box is displayed.

3. Q. I have created a chart and now I want to attach the worksheet values
      to the chart. How can I do this?

   A. Microsoft Excel comes with two chart types that will automatically
      attach worksheet values to the chart. To use either of these charts,
      activate the chart by selecting the Window menu and selecting the
      chart. Select the Gallery menu and choose either Column or Bar,
      depending on which type of chart you want to use. Chart number 7 for
      either a column chart or a bar chart will attach the worksheet values
      to the end of the column.

      The following two-step procedure will attach worksheet values to a
      chart.

      a. To attach a worksheet value to any type of chart, hold down the
         CTRL key and click on the data point you want to attach a value
         to. Then choose Attach Text from the Chart menu. Press ENTER. The
         value will be attached to the chart data point you selected.

      b. If you do not have a mouse, choose Attach Text from the Chart
         menu. From the Attach Text dialog box, select Series and
         Datapoint. Enter the series number of the datapoint, press the TAB
         key and enter the datapoint number. You can determine the data
         series number by selecting the Chart menu and choosing Edit
         Series. Select the series you want to attach text to. The Plot
         Order number displayed in the Plot Order box is the data series
         number.

      For more information on attaching text to charts, please refer to
      pages 475-477 of the "Microsoft Excel User's Guide."

4. Q. I want to create a chart that uses pictures to display charted data
      instead of lines, columns, or bars. How can I create a picture chart
      in Microsoft Excel, and what types of picture formats can I use?

   A. To create a picture chart, first copy the picture to the Windows
      clipboard. Please refer to the documentation for the application that
      created the picture if you are unsure how to do this. After you have
      copied the picture to the Windows clipboard, follow this two-step
      procedure:

      a. Once the picture has been copied to the Windows clipboard,
         activate the chart by selecting the Window menu and choosing the
         chart. With your mouse, click on the chart series that you want to
         use for the picture. If you do not have a mouse, press the LEFT ARROW
         key on your keyboard until the series is selected.

      b. Choose Paste from the Edit menu. Then select the Format menu and
         choose Patterns. Excel will display the Picture Format dialog box.
         Select the Stack option if you want your picture to be stacked and
         automatically scaled. Select Stack and Scale if you want to
         control the scale.

      Microsoft Excel for Windows 3.0 supports both bitmap and metafile
      formats. Other picture formats such as, HPGL, and PCX files will
      not directly paste into Excel.
