Create Graphs Easily
Pre-formatted Worksheets: Use graph and worksheet displays to design the graph. Entering new data immediately displays the results.
- Graph Style Gallery: Save any graph with all graph properties and add a bitmap image to the gallery to recreate complex graphs
- Graph Toolbar: select toolbar icon of the graph type and style you want to create a graph or to add additional curves to an existing graph
- Graph Wizard: easy to use, step-by-step wizard for helping you select a graph type and pick data
- Default graph settings: set preferences for graph options to create favorite graphs more easily
- Templates: create custom graph page templates to store for easy accessibility and future use
- "Intersections" now supported for area fills
- Improved Graph Wizard: retains last settings, you can click 'Finish Early,' Gallery Graphs are listed
