# Manage PowerPoint Tables

Use PowerPoint MCP to add tables and format their cells.

## Process

1. Identify the target slide and table position/size.
2. Define rows, columns, and data.
3. Configure header row styling (background, font size).
4. Format individual cells when needed (color, alignment, bold).
5. Save the presentation.
6. Verify the result.

## Guidelines

- Use a clear header row to label columns.
- Keep tables compact; avoid too many rows or columns on one slide.
- Align numbers consistently and keep text short.
- Use a chart instead when the data is better shown visually.

## Examples

"Add a 4-column comparison table of pricing tiers to slide 5."

"Make the header row of the table on slide 2 use the brand color."
