Insert a table in a PowerPoint

by

You’ve worked on a table and want to insert it nicely into your PowerPoint. Here’s how to do it:

  1. In Excel, select the table and copy it.
  2. In PowerPoint, Home > Paste > Image (or Alt > H > V > U).

Once pasted, never resize the image from the left/right or top/bottom sides, as this will distort the image ratio and make it look unappealing. Instead, always use one of the four corners or use Shift + Up/Down Arrow or Shift + Ctrl + Up/Down Arrow for increased control over the image size.

There are other ways to insert a table in PowerPoint, but this method has never failed me.
