GEN: Creating graphs with MS Office

[Rena Deutsch <renadeutsch@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

A number of our students have been typing papers in the library and they
have to include a graph or chart showing their research (it's a science
thing).

We have MS Office 97 (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Access) on the computers
(PCs).  I know how to do tables, but not charts or graphs, and the HELP
wasn't.  Which program do you create it in?  If I know that much, I can
look in some of the books we have and learn how to do it so I can show
them. (I handed them some pages from one of the books, but it didn't seem
that it was that easy to follow).

If anyone knows of a good book that explains how to do this clearly, I'd
welcome suggestions.  It seems that most of them were looking to create a
simple "axis" graph or bar graph.

Thanks!
