| 776359 | 2009-05-24 02:50:00 | Righto, In the course of some training I done last week I was informed that the sort of role I'm looking to get will require being able to gather information and present it in a graphic form. Having never done anything of this nature I don't even know what program or programs I should be looking at learning, I assume some part of Office has the ability to construct charts?, if so then which part is it? just looking for a little nudge in the right direction, after that I'll have a tinker, and if that comes to nothing I'll get a book from the library, and if that comes to nothing I'll go get some training. |

| 776362 | 2009-05-24 04:59:00 | The best way as suggested by others is through using Excel. Here are some tutorials and quick guides to get you started: office.microsoft.com (For Charts) office.microsoft.com (For SmartArt) |

| 776364 | 2009-05-24 05:22:00 | Is is just statistical information you are presenting? Word can do flow charts which are good for showing the flow or steps in a process. You can also import charts created in Excel into Word if they are to be part of a written presentation. | Jen (38) | ||
| 776365 | 2009-05-24 05:57:00 | Is is just statistical information you are presenting? I don't really know:clap I'd need to get involved in the real world goings-on to see what exactly is done. I have found much of what gets mentioned in training never takes place in the real world. having said that I can see a need to do flow charts.They seem to love their charts, I was shown 5 different "causation charts" in a 3 minute period. The chart video beeswax34 posted impressed me:banana:banana:banana |

| 776366 | 2009-05-24 06:14:00 | Are we allowed to know what kind of training you are doing? And the kind of role you are wanting to get? :) | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 776367 | 2009-05-24 06:25:00 | Health and Safety. Need to get my qualifications in order before I start job hunting, Figure I'll only get one stab at the bigger companies and ideally I'd like to be working for the railways. Next round of training is in Nelson....sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet |

| 776368 | 2009-05-24 06:27:00 | Hmmm. Sounds like doing loads of stuff in Excel and then making Powerpoint presentations is the fashionable thing to do. :yuck: |
