3. Introduction to think-cell In this chapter, a step-by-step tutorial will show you how to create a chart from a scribble like this: A more elaborate presentation of the basic concepts of think-cell and details on the various chart types can be found in chapter Basic concepts on page 20 and the following chapters. Inserting a new chart With think-cell installed, you will find the following toolbar in PowerPoint: In PowerPoint 2007 and later the toolbars have been replaced by the Ribbon. The think-cell group can be found in the Insert tab.
Note: In the following, we will use the term think-cell toolbar to refer to the think-cell toolbar in Office XP and 2003 and the think-cell ribbon group in Office 2007 and later. The think-cell toolbar offers a number of drawing objects with extended functionality and built-in intelligence. These objects are called smart-elements, as opposed to ordinary PowerPoint objects (sometimes also referred to as AutoShapes). Inserting a smart-element into your presentation is very similar to inserting a PowerPoint shape. To create a new smart-element on a slide, go to the think-cell toolbar and click the Elements button in PowerPoint 2007 and later or the think-cell button in earlier versions of PowerPoint. Then, select the required chart type. Note: In the following, we will use the term Elements button to refer to the button Elements in PowerPoint 2007 or later, the button Charts in Excel 2007 or later and the button think-cell in Office XP and 2003. You may notice small arrow markers around some of the chart types. Moving the mouse over these markers lets you select rotated and flipped versions of these chart types. In our example, we want to insert a column chart, which is represented by this button: If you unintendedly have selected some smart-element, you can always do the following: – Press the ✄ ✂ Esc✁key to cancel the insert operation. Introduction to think-cell 15 – Re-click the Elements button to select a different smartelement. Once you have chosen a smart-element, a rectangle will appear with the mouse pointer, indicating where the element will be inserted on the slide. You have two options when placing the smart-element on the slide: – Click the left mouse button once to place the element with the default width and height. – Hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse to create a custom-sized element. Some smart-elements have a fixed width for insertion; in this case, you can only alter the height. You can always change the size of the smart-element later. When you are inserting or resizing a smart-element, you will notice that it snaps to certain locations.
