Statistics Level 3

To create graphs you need to make a table

You will need the Tables toolbar. There are two ways of getting the table toolbar. Choose the one that is best for you.

1. Go to View – Toolbars – Tables and Borders. Drag the toolbar so it fits under your other toolbars.

2. Or just click on the Tables and Borders button in the Standard Toolbar.

Your mouse will now turn to a pencil pointer so you will need to turn it off again by clicking on the Draw Table button on the Table toolbar.
