2. Click one of the graph types shown in the Graph group in the left pane. When you select a graph
type, the templates for that graph type display in the Template group.

either double-click it, or highlight it (single click) and click the Add button. Both methods will move
the field to the Fields for Graph list. Use the Remove button in the same way to move fields back to

place it in the position you want.

for bubble, histogram, or scatter graphs).
9. Click OK. Your graph displays in a Graph window.
