Uggh! I'm having a terrible time with this! I'd like my PPT presentation to
remain flexible, i.e. insert rows, delete rows. I have tried putting my Word
table in Excel too, but not all cells are same size, and some data goes to
several rows.
Can I paste a Word table into Powerpoint so that I just get about 5 or 6
rows in each slide?
Thanks, really appreciate any advice.

Yes, copy 5 or 6 rows and paste them to a slide, copy the next rows and
paste them to the next slide, ... PowerPoint will not automaticaly break
your table, you have to do that manually.

Thank you Ute, I've been able to do that but was expecting that as an answer.
I guess we'll just have to ask Microsoft to fix that problem. What needs to
happen is the result I want: Microsoft needs to correct PPT so that it will
automatically add slides if a table or text is longer than a pre-determined
size as far as number of lines.
I appreciate your help,
Dan
