 Microsoft PowerPoint is a powerful tool, especially its ability to manipulate shapes and create powerful visuals. In this video, I'm going to focus on a neat feature of PowerPoint that allows you to convert a graph into a shape. Let's get started. Let's start with a blank presentation. Right click and change the layout to a blank layout. To create a graph in PowerPoint, click on insert, chart. Choose from one of the available charts. Let's go for pie chart. Charts that are of solid shape, like a pie chart, work best when you want to convert them into a shape in PowerPoint. Click on it and click OK. As you can see from the menu on top, this is currently a chart. It's not a shape. I want five equal slices. To achieve that, you can play with the numbers. I can put a number that is the same for all the data points. Let's go with one. Currently, there are only four data points, but that doesn't stop me from adding more if I want. Let's go for five. And I have a chart of five equal slices. Close the data. Since I want to convert this into a shape, I'm not really interested in the title. So click on it and delete it. I'm not interested in the legends. Click on it and delete it. You want to fine tune this chart before converting into a shape. You can do that by clicking on format. Expand the available options by clicking on this arrow. For example, if I want to increase the space between each slice, click on that slice, then click on series option. In the point explosion, let's go for five percent. I can do this for all the slices by clicking on the series and changing the percentage over here. Avoid applying special effects such as shadows, 3D effects at this stage. We can do that once we convert this into a shape. Convert this chart object into a shape. Make sure you click on the entire object like so. Select home and select copy. Let's add a blank slide. On the second slide, I will choose arrow under this paste option and choose paste special. Scroll down till you find this option. Picture Windows Metafile and select OK. You will notice that this object is neither a shape nor a chart. If you click on top, you can see it's a picture. How do I convert that into a shape? Select group and select ungroup. You will get a warning message indicating that it is an imported picture and do you want to convert it into a Microsoft drawing object, which is essentially a shape. Select yes. Now on top, you can see that it is no longer a picture but a shape format. You can move it around. You can play with individual objects. If you want to further ungroup it, click on the main object and select shape format group and ungroup. And that's how you convert any chart object into shapes.
