Moving A Chart From One Location To Another In PowerPoint

Moving A Chart From One Location To Another In PowerPoint

This question surfaced the other day. 

If you have a Smart Chart in Power Point, you can copy and paste the chart within the Power Point or to an MS Word Document.  

If the chart is composed of individual pieces:

1. To grab the entire chart in order to Group it, click on ONE of the objects in the chart such as a box or oval.   Then, do "Control A" which highlights all of the pieces of the Chart.   Click on the "Drawing Tools" Tab (upper right) and select "Group" which is on the right side of the ribbon.  The chart will now respond as one solid piece to be moved around as needed on the same slide or when copied to another slide.

2.  When you grab your chart to Group it by use of "Control A" you will also grab Footer Material on the slide such as Page No., Date etc. since the pieces of the Footer are using Text Boxes".  To "De-select" the Footer Material or for that matter any selected material that you DO NOT want in the Grouping:  Go over to the Object and "Shift Click".  Once you have de-selected the pieces that you don't want in the group, go to Drawing Tools and Group the remaining selected pieces.

3.  Note:  You can also grab the pieces of the chart by sweeping your cursor over the area to be grouped and when you let go, the highlighted piece will then show all the selected pieces highlighted.  Then, go to Drawing Tools and Select Group.

4.  You can use Slide Sorter View in order to grab the entire slide quickly and paste it into an MS Word Document or to save that same slide as a JPEG or PNG and use it anywhere meaning on all Social Media.

5.  Using Snag It or the Snip-it tool in MS Word.  

Snag-It will let you surround and grab the chart as will the Snip-it tool and it will allow you to save it as a JPEG or PNG which can then be placed anywhere meaning Word, Power Point or any blog, any website.

   Extracting All Hyperlinks From A Document: Scenario :  The attorney has submitted to the WP Center a large file for editing.  This file contains many hyperlinks as well.  The attorney asked us to (besides editing the document), to extract all hyperlinks to a separate document.  They want to have handy, a listing of all of the hyperlinks that were used in one easy place to go through them so that they do not have to go throughout the document looking for them.

MS Word Legal: The Strategy Session Volume 2

   MS Word Legal:  The Strategy Session Volume 2 Getting Ready and Structure First:  Clearing up those Issues From The Very Start That Tend To Hold Us Back… Authored by Louis Ellman  Clearing up the very thing that confuses most new MS Word users that is of course  Page Numbering and Section Breaks!   I wrote this book only a few years ago but it holds up fine and our students use these methods every day! We teach for the public, top-tier legal firms, outsource legal staff, large corporations and we consistently see one thing that they all have in common: They do not have a routine that they use before they ever start editing a document.  Also, they do not have a routine that they use to properly segment, page number and title all items relating to structure.  This is across the board.  This book goes over these routines piece by piece and this is the same vital and unique info that we personally share with our students including ma...
