With tables, you can present information in rows and columns so that content is easier to understand. Use tables to organize anything from literary elements and lab trial results to Swift code samples.
Add a table. Click Table in the toolbar.
Choose a style. Use the arrows to browse through the preset table styles, then click one to add the table to the slide.
Enter text or numbers. Click a cell, then type. Use the Tab or arrow keys to move from cell to cell.
Change the number of rows or columns. Drag the row count handle or column count handle to add or remove rows or columns.
Format. Click the letter above a column or number to the left of a row to select an entire column or row. Use the tools in the Format sidebar to customize the fill color, border, or text styles.
Move and resize. Click the table to select it, then drag the table mover handle at the top‑left corner. Drag any of the white squares on the edges of the table to resize it.
Organize detailed bits of information in presentations with tables. Use header rows or columns for main categories, then add supporting information to the body of the table.
Outline individual roles and responsibilities for a group project with a table. Create a column for each role, then list responsibilities, materials, and important due dates in the rows below.
You can add images to table cells to enhance clarity and meaning. Try adding a column, then adding images that complement the text in each row.
