Changing the Perspective of Your Chart

Summary: When working with 3-D charts, you can control the angle from which the chart is viewed. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

Microsoft Graph includes the ability to display information in three dimensions. This simply means that your graphs look like they have depth. The presentation of the three dimensions used by the program is not limited; you have complete control over how the chart looks. To change the perspective from which the chart is viewed, try this:

Choose the 3-D View option from the Chart menu. Microsoft Graph displays the 3-D View dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
Use the up and down buttons at the upper-left corner to control your apparent elevation in relation to the chart.
Use the left and right turning buttons in the center of the dialog box to control your apparent horizontal position in relation to the chart.
Notice that Microsoft Graph changes the sample in the dialog box as you use the adjustment buttons.
When you are satisfied with your view, click on OK.

Tip #704 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 | 95 | 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
