MS Word Legal Training - Pie Charts In 3D

1. After you bring in your Pie Chart, clicking on one slice will select all the slices of the chart. A second click on that same slice, will now leave only "that particular slice" selected which means "that" particular slice would be affected by any change you make. 2. Back to our "fully" selected Pie Chart. To enhance the look so that the chart is not a 2 dimensional flat figure, go to your Home Tab and over to "Quick Styles". 3. Under Quick Styles, you have Light Outline, Subtle Effect, Moderate Effect, Intense Effect. As you go up the ladder, the more depth the slices will have, meaning the more 3D it will look. 4. You can match any color of your Pie Chart with the effects in Quick Styles, and once you do, your Legend will reflect the new color effect and look. 5. Depending on the color of your Data Labels, you can alter the color, by selecting the Data Labels and going to Font and/or you can apply a "Shape Fill" color to the Data Label which will create a different look to the Data Labels which works for certain Pie Charts. 6. Finally, for Pie Charts that are uniform in color: Besides showing Data Labels sometimes showing "Category Names" on the Slices helps as well. To do so, Select your Data Labels, right click and go down to "Format Data Labels" and down to "Category Name" and place a check next to the selection. When you are back to the Pie Chart, readjust the Font size so that the "Category Name" and "Data Label" comfortably fit on the slice.
