When you have columns of information to display, a table is an effective way to organize it and edit it. Tables in PowerPoint are the same tables that are used in Microsoft Word. There is a special AutoLayout for tables, or you can click the Insert Table button on the standard toolbar.

When you do this, PowerPoint will ask for the number of rows and columns.

You can move from one cell to the next by hitting the [TAB] key on your keyboard

The Tables and Borders Toolbar can be used for adding and removing rows and columns, adding borders, shading cells, and manually drawing in new rows and columns where you desire.
