The borders for tables that you create within PowerPoint are thin lines by default. You can change the weight of these borders to make them thicker — but even before you do so, there are certain prerequisites to take care of. First of all, if you have applied any of the Table Styles, then some borders may have been set to be invisible. So, you need to set them to be visible first since there’s no sense in thickening an invisible border. Once table borders are visible, you can make changes to their appearance — you can change their color, line style, or thickness.

It’s true that picture backgrounds add value to your presentations. Yet, one of the worst things that you can do to your PowerPoint presentation is to add a busy, multi-colored slide background. However, you get to see such bad presentations every now and then. When people do so, they compromise the subtlety and contrast of any content on their slides.

Although PowerPoint originated as a desktop program, Microsoft has made impressive strides in porting the entire program to function as a web-based program that works inside a browser. This web version of PowerPoint called PowerPoint Online lets you create and edit PowerPoint presentations online, and can be easily accessed on OneDrive, Microsoft’s cloud platform. Even better, PowerPoint Online is completely free for anyone to use.
