The Insert Chart box will appear. There, you can choose a chart or graph style. You can create pie charts, bar graphs, and more. When a chart or graph is made, you will see a small Excel sheet pop up. This can be used to edit your chart.

Charts, tables, and graphs cannot be read by screen readers without their labels, so always add them.

After you have completed your chart or graph, be sure it has an alt text. You can make one by right clicking on the chart and clicking the Edit Alt Text button. In the alt text panel, explain your chart or graph in less than 150 characters. You can also include a link to a long description in addition to the alt text if 150 characters is not enough. When you are finished, check your chart to be sure that your font is accessible with a good size and contrast ratio to its background.
