When the chart finds that there is no think-cell installed, it just behaves like a normal PowerPoint chart. And even more worrying is the question of whether these recipients will be able to make edits to these charts? Rather than reach out to think-cell support with this question, I took the extreme step of uninstalling think-cell to experience what will happen to the chart if I send it to someone without think-cell? However, not everyone I will share a chart with will have think-cell installed in their PowerPoint as an add-in. The process was quick, and I was certainly able to get results in less than a minute, as claimed in the think-cell tutorial video. I added a chart using the new think-cell 11, as can be seen in the figure below. Getting started with think-cell is not difficult and this video shows you how easy it is to add a chart. Rather, think-cell options are found within the Insert tab of the Ribbon in both PowerPoint and Excel, as can be seen in the figures below.
Unlike many other add-ins, think-cell does not create a separate tab on the Ribbon. Let’s begin by finding where you can locate think-cell elements. Finally, think-cell launched PowerPoint, and also opened up the Welcome to think-cell page on their site for me.įor those of you who do not have a think-cell license, you can still play with think-cell 11 using a 30-day trial license. Once I had installed think-cell, I was prompted to enter my license key. Next, they sent me an email with the download link.
Next, I proceeded to the think-cell download page on their site that asked me to enter my email address, as registered in my think-cell account. The folks at think-cell say that simply installing on top of an older version works just fine, but then, old habits die hard. I first uninstalled think-cell 10, although you don’t need to do so. I decided to play around with this new release. My contact at think-cell alerted me about this new release. Think-cell recently released version 11 of their well-known add-in for PowerPoint and Excel.
