Tables are an excellent way to present and organize columns of data. Similar to spreadsheets, tables are organized in rows and columns. The intersection of rows and columns is called a cell. You decide how many rows and columns you want to appear in your table. Pressing the Tab key moves your cursor from one cell to another when entering data.
Once you insert a table, you can add more rows or columns later if need be. Like other objects in PowerPoint, you can apply a wide array of formats to your table such as borders, cell shading and cell fill.
To Insert a Table on a New Slide
- Click the New Slide arrow on the Home Ribbon.
- Choose the Title and Content layout.
- Click the Insert Table icon on the content area of the slide.
- Enter the number of rows and columns in the Insert Table dialog box.
- Click OK.

But if i already have a table, how do i insert it into powerpoint? thanks
Peter,
You can copy the table and then paste it into PowerPoint using the copy and paste commands. The table is then inserted as an editable object.
