There are four possible meanings of the word field, in regards to
PowerPoint, that immediately come to mind...
Do you mean a text box (a field you can add text to)? Sure those can be
added as easy as Insert -> Textbox
Do you mean a PlaceHolder (a field that displays "Click to add ...")?
Sadly, no. You can not add additional placeholders.
Do you mean a merge field (as in to replace all <<Username>> instances with
the user's name)? Somewhat. There are a couple basic ones that are used on
the master slides placeholders, and in the PPTools helper add-in merge
functions.
Do you mean a picture of a field (wheat/corn/open)? Sure, just insert the
picture.
Or did you have a different meaning of field? Please post back with a bit
more information. If you do, we'll be better able to steer you to the right
path.

Hi Bill and Hi Suvodip, i am sorry for not being specific enough.
I am trying to create an interactive table of calculation for my
presentation user. Where they can just key in the necessary input datas, and
the table will automatically calculate the results.
Actually what i am intending to do, is to insert a "field" in power point so
that i can write a function/formula as in excel. Is it possible? Or is there
any other ways to do it?
I know that it is possible to do it in microsoft word, is it possible too to
do it in power point?
Thanks for your response and assistance, aprreciate it much.

Why not just insert Excel?
This gives you the ability to use the cells like you would in Excel (because
it is Excel). Ok, first, in Excel create your table of calculations and
save (preferably in the same folder as the PowerPoint file). Then you will
click on the following sequence: Insert --> Object... --> Create From
File --> Browse and select your saved Excel file. No not check 'display as
icon'.
This should add an image of the spreadsheet to your slide. Then click:
Slide Show --> Action Settings --> On Click --> Action Setting: Edit.
During a slide show you can now click on the table and edit the cells to
values or formulas as you would like, and then Save and return to the show
to see how those changes effected the rest of the table.
