Edit Excel table in PowerPoint

Anonymous

I've created an Excel table in PowerPoint (the source worksheet is imbedded in PowerPoint, not an external spreadsheet). I want to add or subtract rows in the PowerPoint display of the table, but adding or deleting rows in the Excel worksheet doesn't change the dimensions of the table as seen in PowerPoint. Any ideas?

Thanks

OLE implementation in Mac PowerPoint has been improved slightly, but it still comes up short in many ways -- this is one of them :-( Once created, the data displayed in the object will update but in most ways the structure of the object, itself, does not.

IMO, it's better to create the worksheet as a separate Excel file. Make any revisions as needed in that file, then copy/paste a new worksheet object to the slide.
