PowerPoint merges the cells.
INTRODUCTION
You can merge two or more cells in a PowerPoint table to create one cell. This technique is commonly used to create a title cell that appears at the top of the table. You can also merge cells to combine a list of data or create a larger table cell to insert a picture, for example.
TIP
What Happens to Existing Text ?
If you apply the Merge Cells command to table cells that already contain text, PowerPoint merges the cells and lists the data from each on a separate line within the new cell.
