About This Feature
Overview
Insert Table is a built-in table feature in WPS Presentation on Windows. It helps you add rows-and-columns layouts to slides for structured information such as comparisons, schedules, lists, and summary data.
Core tasks include:
- Insert a table quickly: open the Insert tab and add a table to the current slide.
- Open more settings: continue to adjust additional parameters after opening the table insertion panel.

| Operating system | A Windows device that can run WPS Office normally |

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Add a table from the Insert tab in a presentation and continue with more settings for further adjustment. | Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook let users select Insert > Table and choose rows and columns from a grid. | Google Docs and Google Slides let users add a table from Insert > Table and then add or remove rows and columns later. | Notion supports table views and simple tables, with a stronger focus on page organization and database-style content. | Adobe Acrobat official guidance for table-related structure focuses on converting a PDF to Word to add a table of contents, rather than inserting a standard editable table directly in Acrobat. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: direct table insertion fits naturally into slide editing on Windows; Distinct: after insertion, you can continue editing the same presentation layout and content in one workflow. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft provides a similar Insert > Table flow across multiple Office apps, but the referenced guidance is a general Office workflow rather than a presentation-specific page. | Compared with WPS: Google documents the insert-and-edit flow clearly for browser-based documents and slides, with desktop use centered on a web environment. | Compared with WPS: Notion tables are oriented more toward databases or page blocks than traditional inserted tables inside presentation slides. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is centered on PDF workflows, and the official page does not present standard table insertion as a direct Acrobat editing feature. |

Overall Conclusion: WPS is well suited to users who want to insert a table directly while editing a presentation on Windows and continue building the slide in the same workspace. If your main work is browser collaboration, database-style organization, or PDF post-processing, the other products may fit those scenarios better.
