                    TABLES IN POWERPOINT


                 A table is an arrangement of text in the form of columns and rows. It can be very
                 useful in organising, and analysing the data. A table consists of vertical columns
                 and horizontal rows.

                 The intersection of a row and a column in a table is called a cell. The cells of a table
                 can contain images, text, drawings, cliparts, etc.
