-: Let us continue working on our line chart.
Now, make men and women series thinner.
I'll use the filter options to enable the series again.
Enable, enable, apply.
Okay, we have the series and I would like them
to be a little bit different from the main line.
The main line is what I want people to see
but those are now too thick.
You can click on the individual lines or go to the legend
and click on the line by double clicking on the legend.
Go to the filling options, again, we have border
and just reduce the weight of the border to 1.0 or 0.75.
Now select the women and reduce it to 0.75 as well.
You can see now this chart is a much more readable
than the default values.
If you want, you can take the main line,
go to its filling options and make it a bit thicker
to showcase that this is the most important data.
Okay, we have completed task number five.
What is the last one?
Reduce number of displayed months.
Just as you can click on the left axis
and in the bounds and units, you can change the units,
for example, to be every 2% instead of every 1%,
it would reduce the number of lines.
The same way you can edit
the displayed months on the bottom.
Let me show you what we can do here.
I want to display only years, for example,
because this is far too much information.
I'll go to the bounds
and under the units we have every two months currently,
I'll maybe do every year and every one year.
PowerPoint automatically knows that these are dates
but now this doesn't look great.
I'll go to number and I'll change the category to a date.
Let's change it to a date
and from the date we have a bunch of predefined dates.
Sadly, we have no pre definition for years
but that's no problem.
Just select one that has years,
for example, this March 14th 2012.
No problem.
The years are yyyy.
You can delete everything, meaning the months and days,
and just leave the years and press add,
add is simply a refresher.
Now, we have displayed only the years,
we are complete with this chart.
If you would like the years to be somewhere else,
no problem.
If you want, you can even delete this axis.
No one is telling you to put the axis on the bottom.
You can go to Insert > Shapes, insert a text box
and, for example, 1950,
you could do a normal text box like that, a bit bigger,
and you would be under complete control
where this will be put.
For example, if you want the year, for example, to be here
and the year '48 to be here, no problem,
1948, you can do it that way.
I know this is a bit complicated
but you'll get so much better at PowerPoint by doing so.
Good luck and let's see each other in the next lecture
when we continue working on our beautiful charts.
