Tables in PowerPoint 2007

PowerPoint Tables have been given a major revision with this release of Office.



One of the other major pain points in working with tables in PowerPoint was the experience of actually moving your tabular data from outside of PowerPoint into PowerPoint. The experiences in the past with being able to
move a table from Excel to PowerPoint, for example, have proven to be problematic for users and in many cases the user would resort to pasting the table in PowerPoint as an image, rather than as an actual table. Cross-app
interoperability of tables between Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, specifically copying tables directly into PowerPoint, has been a top priority for this release.

Information will come into PowerPoint just as it was in the host application when one copies a table from Excel to PowerPoint, or Word to PowerPoint, as can be seen in the following image:






All of the basic formatting options exist, such as cell fills, border manipulation, font modifications, etc. On top of that we now have a set of effects which can be applied to a table in PowerPoint. These effects allow a person to apply a soft shadow to a table, a reflection, or to apply 3D bevels to a selection of cells within the table.
