Add rows or columns to a table

Use this process to modify Microsoft PowerPoint tables. Use the source program's Help for information about modifying tables that were created with another program.

Select the rows above which you want to insert new rows, or select the columns to the left of which you want to insert new columns. Select the same number of rows or columns as the number of rows or columns you want to insert.
How?
- To select rows, columns, or the entire table, drag across the rows, columns, or the entire table.
- To select a column, click just outside the top border of the column, when the pointer is a down-facing arrow.
Right-click, and then click Insert Rows or Insert Columns on the shortcut menu.

Tips

You can also use the Draw Table tool on the Tables and Borders toolbar to draw the row or column in the location you want. If the Tables and Borders toolbar is not displayed, click Tables and Borders on the Standard toolbar.
To add a row at the end of a table, click the last cell of the last row and then press TAB.
