PowerPoint has numerous predefined color and border combinations to choose from:

  • Start on the left with Table Style Options. Do you want a boldface header row across the top? Select the Header Row option. Experiment with the other options to see how they affect the look of the table. Banded options create alternating shading patterns.

  • Next, open the Table Styles gallery. Multiple color and border combinations are shown there. Select any thumbnail image to apply that style to your table.
