4. Click the effect you want to apply to the current table.

Success Criteria

• You can continue switching presets or move to detailed settings.

Tips While Using

• If the table is not selected first, the effect entry may not appear as expected.
• The effect applies to the whole table object rather than a single cell.

2. Customize Table Effects

Feature entry: Right-click table → Format Object → Shape Options → Effects

1. Click any cell in the table so the whole table object is selected.
2. Right-click the table to open the context menu.
3. Click Format Object to open the Object Properties sidebar.
4. Switch to the Shape Options tab.
5. In the Effects section, click Shadow or Reflection to expand detailed settings.
6. Adjust color, transparency, size, and related parameters while previewing the result in real time.

Success Criteria

• You can continue refining the settings or switch back to no effect.

Tips While Using

• If only cell content is selected instead of the table object, the right-click path may differ.
• Too many visual effects can reduce slide clarity, so moderate use is recommended.
