Formatting an Excel Pie Chart


 - When you click the Finish button after step 4 of the Chart wizard, the wizard closes, and your new chart appears in your spreadsheet.
The Pie Chart in your spreadsheet
Your new chart will have the black squares surrounding it, indicating that it is selected. Click anywhere on a white area (Top left corner of the chart is ideal). Hold down your left mouse button and drag the chart downwards into some space.
When you have moved the chart, you need to resize it. Hold down your left mouse button on the centre black square at the bottom. Drag downwards to increase the height of your chart. When you have finished, you should have a pie chart on your spreadsheet like the one below:
The Pie Chart Resized
If part of your title "Viewing figures in millions" is hidden, you can move it over. Click on your title with your left mouse button. You'll see a border appear around the title:
Formatting the Title
Click on the shaded border with your left mouse button. Keep your left mouse button held down and drag it to a different position.
And that's it for pie charts. Except we need some of that space that the pie chart is occupying. And the chart is a bit hard to see where it is. It would be better of in a sheet of its own. We can move it.
  • Make sure the chart is highlighted by clicking on it with the left mouse button. The black squares should appear around the edges
  • Click on Edit from the menu bar
  • From the drop down menu, click "Cut"
  • The chart disappears from the spreadsheet
  • Click on a blank Sheet at the bottom (Sheet 3 might be blank on yours, but the image shows Sheet 4)
Click a New Sheet
  • Click on Edit from the menu bar
  • From the Drop down menu, click on Paste
  • The pie chart is pasted to Sheet 3

OK, with the pie chart out of the way, we can create another chart - a more complex bar chart, this time.

Sorting Images in Windows 7  -In the previous section, you learned how to add information to an image. In this section, you'll se what you can do with all this information. This comes under the topic of Sorting. First, though, change your View slider from  Tiles  to  Details : When you arrange the window to Details view, your screen should look like this one: We now have a list of images with the Name, Date, Tags, Size and Ratings showing.

All you need to do is to check each box. The ones not checked will then be hidden: Here, we're choosing to display only 1 and 2 star images, perhaps with a view to deleting them.
