Guidelines for Graphing Data With Microsoft® Office 2007™, Office 2010™, and Office for Mac™ 2008 and 2011

The interpretation of single-case data requires systematic visual analysis across and within conditions. Graphs are a vital component for analyzing and communicating single-case design data and a necessary tool for applied researchers and practitioners. Several articles have been published with task analyses for graphing data with the new versions of Microsoft Excel and versions of Microsoft Office software prior to Microsoft Office 2007. This article extends the previous literature on the construction of single-case graphs by providing task analyses for using Microsoft® PowerPoint 2007 and 2010, Microsoft® PowerPoint for Mac™ 2008 and 2011, Microsoft® Word 2007 and 2010, and Microsoft® Word for Mac™ 2008 and 2011. This article is a revision and update of guidelines published earlier in the Journal of Early Intervention. The current article provides updated guidelines for current software programs. Some of the narrative is similar to that of the original version.
