MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2006problems using tables in powerpoint
Can you tell me how to change all the row heights of a table that is filled in with words and numbers. Can you also tell me why I cant add a new row to a table by using tab at the end, or insert in the middle part, what could be wrong and how to fix. Can you also tell me why I would be unable to select a table cell, and how to do this Thank you Are you sure your table is really a table and not a bunch of grouped shapes?

Click on "Draw" on the Drawing Toolbar. If "ungroup" is available at the top of the menu, click it. Continue doing so until you can't anymore -- or until you're prompted with something like "The selection contains one or more tables. Would you like to convert them to PowerPoint shapes?" If you see that, click No, and you should have a table somewhere on the slide.

Any > other suggestions Rightclick where you want to insert a row; if it's a PowerPoint table, one of the items on the rightclick popup menu will be Insert Rows. Choose that. To change the row height, put your cursor over the line dividing one row from the next; the cursor will change to a kind of double line with arrows top and bottom; click and drag the line separating the two rows to the desired height. You can't make it any smaller than a certain size that's determined by the size of the text in the row. If you need a smaller row height, select the cells in the row and make the text size smaller (even if there's no text) > > Select the "table." Click on "Draw" on the Drawing Toolbar.

That's why we're trying to figure out if you're working with an actual table or with a bunch of shapes/lines.

If the user got that prompt I mentioned earlier "would you like to convert to PPT shapes" and answered "yes," you'd end up with shapes. So to add a row, you'll have to add textboxes and place them appropriately. It might be easiest to select the textboxes in the last row and press Ctrl+Shift while dragging them downward. Ctrl+Drag will create a copy and adding Shift constrains the copying to the same horizontal/vertical position SignatureEcho [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ > The table cannot be identified as a table according to Steve's information > either.

It sounds like you don't have a table or you have a table that's been ungrouped (so it's not a table any longer .. just a collection of shapes). If that's the case, you might be better off re-creating the table. > > Yes.
