Table toolbar

When a table is selected (you can tell by the presence of 8 blue square

handles around the edges), the Table toolbar should be displayed. If

necessary, you can open the toolbar using View > Toolbars > Table.

By default the toolbar will float, but you can at any time dock it to the

side or top of the work area.

The Table toolbar contains the majority of the tools you need to

manipulate a table; these are described below.

Table

Use to create a new table on the selected slide. Opens the Insert

Table dialog box where you can select the desired number of rows

and columns. Click on the small black triangle next to the button to

open the graphic tool for inserting a table. To use the tool, move the

mouse to the right and down in the grid until you reach the cell you

want to be the last and click there.
