You can create a chart from all the data in a spreadsheet or from a range of cells.

To make a chart:

1	Select the spreadsheet cells you want to include in the chart.
2	Choose Make Chart from the Options menu.
3	Click the type of chart you want.
4	Click buttons in the Modify area to set other chart options. (See the table below for more information.)
	If you're not sure what you want your chart to look like, skip this step. AppleWorks uses default options for the selected data. You can modify the chart later.

If you see the message "Not enough chart data":
Make sure you select a range of spreadsheet cells containing data before you choose Make Chart.

Tip: You can display a data series as a different chart type (for example a bar chart with one series displayed as a line) to emphasize that series.

Options for modifying charts

	Click		To do this
	Gallery		Change the chart type and chart options such as whether the chart is in color or has a drop shadow.
	Axes		Add labels for axes, set the scale and format of tick marks, and add grid lines.
	Series		Format data series.
	Labels		Add and format a chart title and legend.
	General		Specify the spreadsheet cell range on which to base the chart, whether the data series come from spreadsheet rows or columns, and whether to use spreadsheet numbers, which are normally plotted as data points, as labels instead.

You can reformat a chart into another type by double-clicking it and selecting other options.

Tip: If you add cells to the spreadsheet cell range on which you based your chart, you can add that data to the chart.
