4. Basic concepts<br />

This chapter presents the basic concepts of working with<br />

<strong>think</strong>-<strong>cell</strong>. They apply to all chart types. For a quick tour<br />

direction. By clicking on them, smart elements can be<br />

inserted like normal PowerPoint shapes.<br />

The following smart-elements are available:
