In PowerPoint, how do I switch a line graph so that it is a bar?

[Guest]

In a graph, I need to switch a line so it is a bar....and it is seemingly
impossible for me. Help?

Double click the chart so that you are editing it. Right click and select
Chart Type. Select "Bar Graph" from the list on the first tab. Does that
work? IF not, give us some more information on where the chart came from and
what you have tried. Then, we can help you better.

Just a small nitpick -- right-click *the line you want to change* and select
Chart Type|Bar Graph. It's not real intuitive, but it should work.
