How to Insert a Table from Microsoft Word into PowerPoint

When creating a presentation in the popular Microsoft PowerPoint program, users often need to add various information to the slides - text, images, music, and more. But what if you need to insert a table from MS Word?

Let's say you have an already created page in Microsoft Word and Excel that you need to insert into PowerPoint. Below we will look at several ways to accomplish this task.

Method 1: Create a table manually

PowerPoint has exactly the same table editor as Microsoft Word. If the table is not too complex, it can easily be recreated in PowerPoint.

1. First of all, you must have created a slide in which you can insert objects. Click inside the window where the object should be located once with the left mouse button, then go to the tab in PowerPoint "Insert". Vyberite point "Table".
   
   
   
   
   
2. Specify the number of rows and columns, and then you can proceed to filling out the resulting table.
   
   
   
   

Method 2: Insert an image

The essence of the method is that you save the table as an image, and then insert the resulting image into PowerPoint.

1. First, we need to take a screenshot of the existing table. You can easily take a screenshot using standard Windows tools, for example, using the “Scissors” tool (you can find this tool through the system search).
   
   
   
   
   
2. When the running application is displayed on the screen, click on the button "Create" and select that part of the document (specifically the table) that will subsequently be included in the image.
   
   
   
   
   
3. A screenshot of the table will be displayed in a small graphic editor, where, if necessary, you can make adjustments such as cropping, text overlay, drawing, etc. Click on the diskette icon to save the resulting image.
   
   
   
   
   
4. When the image is saved, go to PowerPoint, activate the area where the image will be inserted, then go to the tab "Insert" and select the item "Drawing".
   
   
   
   
   
5. In the explorer that opens, select the previously created image, after which the table will appear in the presentation.
   

Method 3: Paste the copied table

And finally, the easiest way, which is to simply copy the table and then paste it into PowerPoint.

You've probably already tried to act in a similar way, and most likely it didn't work out - instead of the table, only the text contained in it is inserted. The thing is that there is one little trick.

1. Go to Microsoft Word and select the entire table. Then copy it using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Open PowerPoint and the slide where it will be inserted. Right-click on any empty empty area of ​​PowerPoint (not the rectangles where content and text are inserted), and then click on the button "Insert" ili najmite sochetanie key Ctrl + V.
   
   
   
   
   
3. As you can see, the table was pasted into PowerPoint exactly the same way it was copied from Word.
