INTRODUCTION

You can add more rows or columns to accommodate additional text in your slide table. When inserting rows, PowerPoint inserts the new row directly above the current row. When inserting columns, PowerPoint inserts the new column directly to the left of the current column.

TIP

Using the Toolbar

If the Tables and Borders toolbar is displayed, you can click the Table drop-down arrow, and then select whether to add a new column or row and specify where it should be placed. To display the toolbar, click the Tables and Borders button.

TIP

Resizing Your Table

If your table grows beyond the borders of your slide, you can resize the table to make it fit. Click the table border to select the entire table, and then drag a corner of the table to resize the table.
