Hi Tan,

Thanks for your updates.

I’d like to confirm whether the issue goes away.

If the issue persists, I’d like you to confirm and provide the following.

1. List the detailed reproducing steps about the issue you are experiencing and provide some screenshots related to it.
2. Check if the issue happens in a specific table in a specific file.
3. Upload a full screenshot of the Account page in PowerPoint 2016. You can access the page via File>Account.

Note: Remove any private information before uploading the screenshots.

Thanks,

Hi Cliff,

I can't repair it as it is on my work computer and the administrator is from my IT department. It is a long process so I found another way to deal with it. 

FYI, I did try to recreate the table on Ppt but it did not help.

Thanks for your fast response :D

Hi Tan,

Please check whether you create a table in Word 2016 and then copy it in PowerPoint 2016. If yes, check if you select Keep Source Formatting when pasting it. If yes, I suggest you navigate to Control Panel>Programs>right-click the Office 2016 applications’ icon>Change>Repair and then restart the computer to see the result.

Meanwhile, to clarify the issue, I’d like you to confirm and provide the following.

1. List the detailed reproducing steps about the issue you are experiencing and provide some screenshots related to it.
2. Check if the issue happens in a table in a specific file.
3. Upload a full screenshot of the Account page in PowerPoint 2016. You can access the page via File>Account.

Note: Remove any private information before uploading the screenshots.

Thanks,
