PPT97: Table Size Limit of Word Table Object in PowerPoint
This article was previously published under Q189941
On This Page
SUMMARY
You can embed a table from Microsoft Word into Microsoft PowerPoint in
several different ways. These methods have different maximum numbers of
rows and columns that you can add. This article includes information
about what these limits are as well as a method to get around the limit.
NOTE: Although it is possible to get around these limits, it is typically
not a good idea. For example, if you create a presentation with a Word
table that contains 20 rows and 40 columns, the text in this table is going
to be very difficult for your audience to read.
MORE INFORMATION

double-click the placeholder, you are prompted to select the number of
rows and the number of columns in your table. The following table lists the
different table size limits for PowerPoint 97:
Max Rows Max Columns

How to Insert a Word Table
To insert a Word table that contains a larger number of rows and/or
columns, follow these steps:
- On the Insert menu, click Object.
- Click Word Document Object. This creates a Word object on your slide.
- On the Table menu, within Word, click Insert Table. This opens a
dialog box that allows you to specify the number of rows and columns as
well as the column width.
- At this point, you can resize the object window and even adjust the
cell height and width (using the Table menu).
