Making presentations better with tables and auto-play
Tuesday, July 21, 2009
The Google Docs team pays close attention to what users say on our forums, and we've heard one issue loud and clear: You want tables. Actually, we really wanted tables too. Well, we're pleased to announce that we now have tables in presentations, which can be useful for organizing data that matters to your audience.
Once you've inserted a table into your presentation, you can easily add, select, and resize rows and columns with a single click , format and align text across the table, and set background colors for your cells and borders. Your rows will grow to fit content as you type it. Collaborators can even make edits to the same table simultaneously. Now, when you import tables from Microsoft Office PowerPoint they'll show up as editable tables in Google Docs. Try the new table menu by choosing "Table" in the presentation editor, or you can learn more about the feature

We also get great ideas for features from our users. For example:
Thanks for telling us what you think and helping us make presentations better.
Keep it up
