Update 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 update the properties of a text portion in a table cell.
