Tables and Charts
Tables and charts are tools that we can also use to display information in our presentations.
A table is organized way of presenting data arranged in rows and columns.
A chart, on the other hand, shows information or data in the presentation graphically.
Both tools make the information easier to interpret and understand.
Insert a table
To insert a table in the slide, we do the following:
1. Go to the insert tab; then click the table button in the tables group.
2. A grid of squares will appear. Select the number of rows and columns for the table by hovering the mouse
over the grid, then left click.
We can also choose the insert table option, then input the number of columns and rows in the insert table
dialogue box.
3. Click the ok button. The table will appear in the slide. Input the data into the table.
Another way to insert table is by selecting the insert table button in the placeholder.
To design and layout the table, we use the table tools design and layout contextual ribbons. Let us make
sure the table is selected.
Types of chart
There are many types of chart that we can use to present the data in our presentation. However, we cannot say
that a certain type of chart is the best chart we can use.
These are the four (4) most commonly used types of charts:
1. Column chart. It is used to compare information. It has a vertical bars to present the data.
2. Line chart. It is used to show if a set of values is increasing or decreasing over a period of time. It can be
used ideally to show patterns or trends.
3. Pie chart. It is used to show the percentage of values that makes up a whole. Each value is shown as a slice
of the pie.
4. Bar chart. Just like the column chart, it is used to compare information. It has horizontal bars to present the
data instead of vertical bars.
Insert a chart
To insert a chart in the slide, we do the following steps:
1. Go to the insert tab; and click the chart button in the illustrations group.
2. The insert chart dialogue box will appear. Choose a chart type that fits the data to be presented. Click the ok
button.
The chart and worksheet will appear. The worksheet is where we input our data for the chart.
3. Input the data into the worksheet.
4. When done, click the close button of the worksheet.
5. The completed chart will appear in the slide. Edit the chart title.
Another way to insert chart is by selecting the insert chart button in the placeholder.

Multimedia
With PowerPoint, we can make our presentation more captivating by inserting media.
Media, also known as multimedia, refers to any visual representation that has a combination
of audio, video, animation, or graphics.
In PowerPoint, we can insert video, add background music, record our own narration, and put screen recording
for our presentation.

Hyperlinks
Links, commonly known as hyperlinks, help us navigate from one page to another. A link is a text or image that
we can click to jump to a new document or web page.
Putting links in our presentations will be very essential if we want to link to another slide, another presentation,
any file, a website, or an email address.
Action buttons are built-in shapes in the presentation that, when clicked, can link to another slide, file, web
page, or email address. They also work like links.
Insert a link
To insert a link in our presentation, we do the following steps:
1. Select the text or image we want to make as a link.
2. Go to the insert tab. In the links group, choose the link button.
3. The insert hyperlink dialogue box will open. Choose from the options on the left side where we want to link
the text or image we selected.
To link to another slide within the same presentation, we choose Place in This Document.
4. A list of the other slides in the presentation will appear. Choose the name of the slide we want to link to.
5. Select the ok button. The text or image will now be a link to the slide we selected.
To insert a link to another file, choose existing file or web page or option.
To insert a link to create a new document, choose Create New Document option.

Let's discover
PowerPoint offers different options on how we can export our presentation. Instead of saving the slide show
normally, we can export it using other formats.
Export presentation
The following are the options for exporting a presentation:
1. Create pdf/xps document. It save the presentation as portable document format
2. (pdf) and xml paper specification (xps).
These file formats preserve document formatting and enable file sharing. The layout, formatting, fonts,
and images are also retained when the file is viewed online or printed. Moreover, the data in the file
cannot be easily changed.
3. Create a video. It saves the presentation as a video. It also preserves animations, transitions, and media.
4. Package presentation for CD. It creates a package so that other people can watch the presentation on most
computers. This package includes linked or embedded items such as videos, sounds, and fonts. It also
includes any other files added to the package.
5. Create handouts. It creates handouts for the presentation in word. It also puts slides and notes in a word
document.
