Inserting a table

The final requirement for your PowerPoint module is to insert a table into one of the slides in your presentation. This process is very similar to inserting charts, which you just completed.

To insert a table into a slide, create a new slide and select the "Table" layout from the options available and click OK. In the slide view, double-click on the box to contain the table to get the following pop-up window:

Set the table options so that it will contain two columns and two rows, then click OK. Enter text into each of the four cells of the table. Since this is a "word table" that is being inserted into PowerPoint, you may format the table in much the same way as you formatted a table in the Word I module you completed. To exit the table view, click anywhere outside of the table. You will then be able to view the slide with the table embedded.
