Click the left and right arrows to see more style options.
To type in a cell, click the cell, then enter your content.
Do any of the following:
- Move the table: Click it, then drag in the top-left corner to move it to where you want it on the slide.
- Type in a cell: Click the cell, then enter your content.
- Change the appearance of a table or its cells: Use the controls in the sidebar on the right.

To change the appearance of a table or its cells, use the controls in the sidebar on the right. If you don’t see the sidebar, click in the toolbar.

Click the table, click in its top-left corner to select the whole table, then press Delete.

Tables have a placeholder name, such as “Table 1,” that you can show, edit, or hide. Each table must have a unique name in the presentation.

Show or hide a table name: Control-click the bar to the left of row 1, then choose Show Table Name or Hide Table Name.
You can also select or deselect the Table Name checkbox in the Table tab of the sidebar. (If you don’t see a sidebar, or it doesn’t have a Table tab, click in the toolbar.)
Change the name: Triple-click the name on the slide, then type a new name.
Enclose the table name in a border: Click the Table tab at the top of the sidebar on the right, then Select the “Outline table name” checkbox.
If you don’t see a sidebar, or it doesn’t have a Table tab, click in the toolbar.
