Insert columns and rows
Insert a new column or row in PowerPoint tables, without changing existing PowerPoint table width.
Easily insert a new column or row into a PowerPoint table without impacting table width. PPT Productivity add-in has four buttons that provide single click access from the ribbon - insert a column to the left or right, or to insert a row above or below.
Adding columns will not change the existing width of your PowerPoint table, however adding rows will increase PowerPoint table height.
Combine this feature with PPT Productivity's Autofit Columns in PowerPoint feature to optimize column widths of your table and minimize table height (based on contents).
All PPT Productivity features can be used via the Customizable PowerPoint Shortcuts feature. You can update the shortcuts to any preferred available combination, but to get you started we have set up the following custom shortcuts to insert columns and rows into PowerPoint tables:
- PowerPoint Shortcut to insert column in table to the left: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Left
- PowerPoint Shortcut to insert column in table to the right: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Right
- PowerPoint Shortcut to insert row above in table: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Up and
- PowerPoint Shortcut to insert row below in table: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Down
