Distance Cartogram Templates for PowerPoint
Cartograms come in various types. The easiest and most effective cartograms you can create within PowerPoint
are distance cartograms. These distance cartograms are now becoming extremely popular, but creating them requires
a fair amount of time and knowledge. But we've made this task easier for you. Try our "Distance Cartogram
PowerPoint templates" kit. This kit contains ready-to-use templates that come with three types of distance cartogram
samples, one each for Air Fares, Flight Times, and Driving Distances. You can easily change the topics, names and
values as required. Remember that each larger circle you see in these cartogram graphics are not really circles - these
are all individual donut shapes, sized perfectly for you so that you don't have to work harder in creating and
arranging them perfectly!

Drawing Scribble Lines
Drawing with the Scribble line tool is almost the same as drawing with the Freeform line
tool -- but there is one vital difference. You don't need to double click to create an end point for your line with
the Scribble tool. Also, once you start drawing with the Scribble tool, you can't release the mouse
button until you finish drawing. So, you can't draw a perfect straight line as you would do with the
Freeform line tool. The point where you release the mouse button will be the end point for the drawing. In many
ways thus, the Scribble tool mimics real life usage as you draw with a pencil on a piece of paper.
Your line stops drawing the minute you stop drawing it without having to double-click.
Populate Tables with Content
Once you insert a new table on your PowerPoint slide, probably the very next task you would want to do is to fill the cells with
required content. There are more than one of ways in which you can populate your table with content in PowerPoint 2013. In this
tutorial we'll explore these ways -- let us start with exploring the ways to navigate from cell to cell within a table.
Import Tables
If you want to use a table in your presentation, you can insert a new table on your PowerPoint slide and then enter
content within this table as required. However, as it happens frequently, there may be a table already created within
Excel or Word, or the table content may already be populated in a bunch of contiguous Excel cells. Whether you have, a
ready-made table, or just a group of in contiguous cells in Excel, it is very easy to import it into PowerPoint 2013 as
a table. Since the Copy and Paste options work similarly for both Excel and Word tables, it really does not matter what
your source is, although in this example we are taking a table created within Excel. |
