To draw a table with the number of rows and columns you want:

1

Hold down the Option key and click Table in the toolbar.

Release the Option key and drag across the slide canvas (the pointer appears as

a crosshair).
As you drag, a table appears and the number of rows and columns increases or
decreases with the size of the table.

Resize and position the table as described in the task above.

Here are ways to make a new table from an existing one:
To create a new table based on one or more adjacent cells in an existing table, select

m

the cell or cells and then drag them to an empty location on the slide canvas.

Note: Rows or columns that are hidden in the Numbers spreadsheet and any
comments added to Numbers table cells aren't copied into Keynote.

To learn about entering content into table cells, see “Typing Content into Table
Cells” on page 163.

At any time after you’ve created a table, you can add and delete rows and columns;
change the row, column, and cell dimensions; change cell colors and border styles; and
more to design the look you want.
