Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Merge and Split Table Cells

Add a table to your PowerPoint slide and then populate the table with content — and then what comes next? Probably you need to add or remove rows and columns. That’s the case with most people who work with tables. But very few people realize that the table cells can be made larger or smaller without influencing the entire row or column — and that’s something that can be easily achieved by merging or splitting cells in your existing table. This is essentially true for tables that have two header rows, or even with tables that have a long phrase in the header row.

Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Add and Remove Table Rows/Columns

Once you insert a table in PowerPoint, you will certainly want to fill it with some content. However that does not mean your table is done and may never require any more changes to be made. Like anything else in life, tables need to grow and accommodate more content — or they may even need to shed some of it. Adding or removing content within a table usually entails adding and removing table rows and columns, as required. You can add or remove these from the edges of the table, or even somewhere right in middle of the existing rows and columns.
