First, we insert the main table that will contain the steps of the procedure. We write the first step and press “Enter”. We’re going to insert a nested table that describes the situations in which you would choose each option. Before inserting the nested table, we make sure the cursor is placed where we want to insert it. You can simply at the cursor; however, you may notice that the top and bottom borders are very close to the surrounding cell. In our example, we have text above the nested table, but the bottom border of the nested table is too close to the bottom border of the containing cell. We need to expand the margins within the cell.
If all your tables are to have the same style, you could create a presentation template that has this one style as default table style. Another option is to copy the table out of PowerPoint into some other Office application such as Word or Excel that is more flexible, then copy it back. Feb 3, 2011 - Add rows to the first table and copy/paste the content of the second table. Quite often you'll find that you have two tables in a Word document.
If you inserted a nested table this way, you can press Ctrl+Z to undo the insertion and remove the nested table. We will insert the nested table again after expanding the margins within the cell.
RELATED: To expand the margins in the cell so the borders of the nested table and the cell are not too close, make sure the cursor is in the cell of the main table where you want to insert the nested table. NOTE: If you know that you are going to need to expand the margins the same way in other cells of the main table as well, you can. For this example, however, we’re only going to change the margins for one cell. Click the “Layout” tab. In the Table section, click “Properties”. On the Table Properties dialog box, click the “Cell” tab, if it’s not already active. Click “Options” at the bottom of the Cell tab.

In the Cell margins section on the Cell Options dialog box, click on the “Same as the whole table” check box so there is NO check mark in the box. This activates the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right edit boxes, which contain the values for the four margins in the selected cell. By default (in Word 2016), the Top and Bottom margins are “0” and the Left and Right are “0.08”. These values might differ in earlier versions of Word. Enter new values for the margins, especially the Top and Bottom margins.
We used “0.1” for all the margins in our cell. You are returned to the Table Properties dialog box. Click “OK” to close it. Now, you can in that cell and enter your content. The nested table sits nicely in the cell in your main table.

To further enhance your table layout, you can, merge and split cells, and even. You can also have multiple layers of nested tables, but be careful.
Too many layers of nested tables can make for a confusing layout.
Enhancement Request Submitted Due to changes in the programming software for SPSS PASW Statistics (versions 16 and above), it is not possible to directly copy and paste into Microsoft Office products from PASW Statistics output files. An enhancement request has been submitted to restore or emulate this capability. It is possible to derive image files capable of being pasted into Microsoft Word using the method below: Generate the desired tables. In the Output window, select a table (or multiple tables).
Select the File menu option. Select the Export menu option. In 'Objects to Export' choose the 'Selected' option. In the 'Document' section, click on the 'Type' drop-down box. Select 'PowerPoint (.ppt)' from the list of options in the 'Type' drop-down box. In the 'File Name' box, confirm the file-name of the file and location where the exported file will be created.
(If you wish to change the file location, select the 'Browse' button and browsed to the desired location.) (If you wish to change the file name, edit the file name as it appears in the 'File Name' text dialog box.) Select the 'OK' button to save the exported file. Open the saved/exported PowerPoint file. Images of the selected tables will now appear each table displayed on a separate PowerPoint slide. The resulting images can be copied and pasted into a Microsoft Word document.
The resulting images often contain large areas of 'white space'. If unacceptable, this 'white space' can be edited using any image editing software (e.g. Microsoft Windows Paint) prior to pasting into a Word document.
