About This Feature

Overview

Insert/Delete Rows and Columns is a built-in table editing feature in WPS Presentation for Windows. It helps you add or remove rows and columns in a slide table when you need to expand, simplify, or reorganize content.

Core tasks include:

Insert rows or columns from the right-click menu when you need to add content quickly.
Delete rows or columns from the right-click menu when you need to remove extra structure.
Use the Table Tools ribbon commands to manage row and column changes during continuous editing.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports inserting and deleting rows and columns in presentation tables through the right-click menu or Table Tools, which is useful for slide table editing.	Microsoft Support explains adding rows above or below, adding columns left or right, and deleting rows or columns through Table Layout or right-click actions in Word tables.	Google Docs Editors Help explains adding and deleting table rows and columns in documents or slides through right-click table commands.	Notion simple tables let you add a row at the bottom, add a column on the right, and drag the bottom-right corner to add or remove rows and columns together.	Adobe Express lets users add a table to a design, then use Table actions to add or delete rows and columns and merge cells.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides both right-click access and Table Tools commands for table structure changes in presentation editing. Distinct: It fits slide-based table revision directly inside a presentation workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's cited guidance focuses on Word table workflows, so the referenced path is more document-centered than slide-centered.	Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes browser-based document and presentation table editing, with a workflow that differs from a desktop presentation app.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on lightweight page and note organization, so its table workflow is less presentation-oriented.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Express centers on design editing, with table changes grouped under Table actions rather than a presentation table editing workflow.

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical choice when you need to adjust table structure directly inside a Windows presentation workflow. Compared with document-first, page-first, or design-first tools, it stays closer to slide editing tasks and supports quick table revisions during presentation preparation.
