Add a table to your PowerPoint slide and then populate the table with content and then what comes next? Probably you need to add or remove rows and columns. That’s the case with most people who work with tables. But very few people realize that the table cells can be made larger or smaller without influencing the entire row or column and that’s something that can be easily achieved by merging or splitting cells in your existing table. This is essentially true for tables that have two header rows, or even with tables that have a long phrase in the header row.
