Allows Tables to Hold Graphics

Dear PowerPoint People,

I am writing this letter to request a better way to use graphics with tables
in PowerPoint.

I am working on a big presentation that has many tables and graphics in some
of the cells. I want them to look good, to be centered, and to move when the
table moves and in the cell that I choose. In Word, I can easily do this.
The object will be centered if I wish and will move with the table as well.
It can also be easily resized if I move/resize the table.

In PowerPoint, I notice that if I make or bring in a table and put a graphic
in the cell, it doesn’t act the same.

A graphic is not as easily associated with the table, so, if I move or
resize the table, the graphic stays behind. Yes, I can group them, but that
doesn't work if I resize the table.

But I had a solution –if there is a table – allow it to be right-clicked to
display a ‘allow graphics in cells’ option that would essentially make them
inserted very easily, like in Word.

I did get some help from a posting I listed on your community website,
(http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...oint&mid=85a60716-1218-4df3-9141-0f43e9410657)
and got closer. I think it is the only option, but I am hoping there is a
better way.

Perhaps you have a solution for us.

Thank you,

I would be happy to do so. I've tried, and when I paste in ppt - the
graphics get placed in another part of the page, and are stacked on top of
each other.
