Delete a Text Portion

Introduction

In PowerPoint table cells, you can work with individual parts of text by changing their formatting independently. For example, you can select a portion of text and change its font, size, color, or style (bold, italic, underline) without affecting the rest of the text. Use the following method to delete text portions from table cells.
