Tables should be prioritized for communicating data clearly and effectively.

Tables enable precise and consistent alignment and greater flexibility regarding formatting.

When edits need to be made.

To insert the table into PowerPoint, go to the insert tab and click on the table button in the tables group or press Alt + N + T.

A dropdown menu will appear showing a grid of squares.

You can move your mouse over the grid to select the number of rows and columns you want for your table.

The table will then be inserted into your slide, and the formatting will mirror the colours and fonts in your theme settings.

Alternatively, you can click on the insert table option at the bottom of the table menu, and then enter the number of rows and columns manually.

Then click okay to insert the table on your slide using either the first or second option shown.

2 new tabs will appear in your ribbon when the table is selected.

The first is table design.

Here you can edit the table style options, the design style you used, and customize individual or multiple components to get the desired aesthetics for your table.

The second new tab is table layout.

Here you can edit the structure of your table with greater precision.

You can add or delete rows and columns, merge or split cells, and customize the cell or table size and the alignment of the data contained in your table.
