PPT97: Borders on Inserted Table Cropped in PowerPoint
This article was previously published under Q189956
SYMPTOMS
After you insert a Microsoft Word table and place a border around it, a
portion of the border may appear to be cut off when you view it in
PowerPoint.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, resize the table in Word:
- In PowerPoint, double-click the table to place it in editing mode.
A hash marked border with eight handles appears around the table.
- Click and drag the center handle on the right side to widen
the table area slightly.
- On the Table menu, click Select Table.
- On the Table menu, click Cell Height And Width.
- Click the Row tab. Under Alignment, click Center.
- Return to the PowerPoint Slide view by clicking anywhere in the
slide background outside the table area. The table now has
a little extra area on each side, and the borders should show.
- Reposition the table on your slide if necessary.
NOTE: Steps 3-5 are not always essential, but following them ensures
success.
MORE INFORMATION
In some cases, the border color that appeared in Word may change when
you return to PowerPoint. For additional information, please see the
