Entering Your Data” on page 138.
Updating a Chart Copied from a Numbers Document
If you’ve created a chart in Numbers, you can copy it and paste it into your Keynote
presentation. After it’s been pasted into Keynote, the chart remains linked to the data
tables it references in Numbers. To change the chart data, open the original Numbers
document and edit the data there, save the Numbers document, and then refresh the
chart data in Keynote.
To update a chart after you’ve updated its data in its linked Numbers table:
Select the chart on the slide canvas and click the Refresh button that appears.

Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart
into your Keynote presentation and after editing the Numbers data tables that the
chart references.
To unlink the chart from the Numbers tables:
Select the chart on the slide canvas and click Unlink.
m
After unlinking the chart, it behaves as any chart created in Keynote, and must be
updated using the Chart Data Editor.
Clicking the Source link next to the Refresh button opens the Numbers document that
the chart is linked to. (If the Source link is hidden, expand the Refresh button control
panel by dragging its handle outward.)
Formatting Charts
Every chart you create has an associated title, chart legend, and labels that you can
choose to show or hide in your slideshow or change their look and placement on the
slide. You can also change the chart colors and textures, the axis scales and tick marks,
and the data point labels within the chart. You can rotate 2D charts and adjust the
angle and lighting style used in 3D charts.
