Embedding a New Word Table

In PowerPoint you can include different object types in your presentation. For instance, you can insert a new Word table, then add and format information just as you would in Microsoft Word.

To embed a Word table:

1. Click where you want the table to appear.
2. Select Object... on the Insert menu.
3. Click Create new.
4. Select Microsoft Word Document from the list.
5. Click OK.
6. A new Word document object appears in the PowerPoint slide.
7. Use the Word interface to add a table:
   1. Click the Insert Table button on the Tables and Borders toolbar.
   2. Select the number of cells you want by moving the cursor across and down the squares.
   3. When the description at the bottom of the box describes the number of rows and columns you want, click the last box.
8. The embedded Word document now contains a table in Word format. Add data and format the table using the Word application.
