Excellent tip on embedding the fonts. I just got finished cleaning up a mess because I didn't have the same fonts on my computer as the guy who did the presentation for me. - Bob

Good tip! I bet most people don't know about embedding......our marketing dept. has made this mistake in the past and sent us slides that open up completely differently and I've had to go back and remedy the problems. - Cathy

* Creating Logarithmic Graphs in Excel for Engineering, Medical and Financial Applications *
Logarithms are useful to represent many occurrences found in nature; sound and light are two examples. Logarithmic growth, or rate of change are also found in many engineering, medical and financial applications. One difficulty in creating logarithmic graphs with Excel is that the one Logarithmic selection, which is found under Custom Types, does not provide more flexibility. The default is a semi-log graph with the logarithmic axis being on the ordinate, and the linear axis being on the abscissa. Our effort this week is to show you that semi-log, and log-log graphs can be created in Excel and that the logarithmic axis can be the ordinate, abscissa, or both (for log-log). Because this need arises frequently in supporting our clients needs, we have created a stock library of logarithmic templates. Explaining how we created all these templates is beyond the scope of this TechTIP, but making you aware that it can be done, and showing you these examples should help enable you to achieve similar results. The other key point is that some of these charts were, and can only be created using the the XY (Scatter) graph, so if you have not investigated that chart type, now is a good time. Graph 1: Semi-log, logarithm on ordinate Graph 2: Semi-log, logarithm on abscissa. Graph 3: Log-log Graph 4: Two axis - semi-log on y1 and percent on y2
