The above steps explain how to make table in PowerPoint using Python whereby in the first step, we will create a default presentation and access its first slide. In the subsequent steps, we will add a table by providing the position coordinates for the table along with the columns’ widths and rows height. In the final steps, we will iterate through every cell inside the table to set the text along with respective formatting before saving the resultant presentation on the disk.
