Inserting a Table

graphics/microsoftoffice14.gif

A table organizes information neatly into rows and columns . The intersection of a column and row is called a cell . Enter text into cells just as you would anywhere else in PowerPoint, except that pressing the Tab key moves you from one cell to the next . PowerPoint tables behave much like tables in Word. You don't need to have Microsoft Word installed on your computer to create tables in your presentations.

  • Press Return to start a new paragraph within that cell.

  • Press Tab to move the insertion point to the next cell to the right (or to the first cell in the next row).

  • Use the arrow keys or click anywhere in the table to move the insertion point to a new location.
