Tables PowerPoint Templates and Slides

PowerPoint table templates can be used for presenting information in a structured and organized way. PowerPoint text and tables have been proven to be yet another way of making PowerPoint presentations attractive. They are widely used these days in business presentations for various benefits they provide. Text tables in PowerPoint can be used to:

1. Effectively organize information in a grid
2. Avoid the textual content that makes the presentation boring and dull
3. Display numerical data in a presentation
4. Make your Information remarkable so that the audience remembers it

To Make a Scrolling Table in PowerPoint Presentation, Follow these steps:

1. From the navigation bar in PowerPoint, click the “Developer” tab. If you don’t see the Developer tab, click the “File” tab, then click “Options,” choose the “Customize Ribbon” option and then click “Developer” in the Main Tabs section. Click “OK.”
2. Click the “TextBox” ActiveX control icon from the Controls section in the Developer tab.
3. Click hold and drag the text box on the slide.
4. Right-click on the ActiveX text box in your slide and select “Properties”.
5. Make the following changes: Change the value for ScrollBars to “3 – fmScrollBarsBoth.” Set the value for MultiLine to “True.” Type the text you want in the value box for Text. Then close this window from the upper right when you’re done.
6. Launch the slide show at that slide. The scrolling effect in the table will only occur if the slide show is active and if there is enough text to go beyond the text box.

We can’t split the whole PowerPoint table, the individual cells of the table can be split into multiple cells.
