Hi,
I poked around but could not find a way to select the rows or columns using
the built-in controls and toolbars.
But I did find some code that was not overly complicated that indicates that
it would be possible for you to programmatically control the column width or
row height. This snippet came from PowerPoint's help in the visual basic
editor:
With ActivePresentation.Slides(2).Shapes(5).Table
.Columns.Add.Width = 72
End With
If you could use this functionality often enough post back and we (the
entire world) can help you put together a little add-in that would let you
specify the widths and heights of tables on a slide.
This involves using the PowerPoint visual basic editor (Tools > Macro >
Macros > Visual Basic Editor) which is sort of a word processor that can
make computer code (might be scary but it's really not too hard once you
play with it a bit).
Are you willing to give this a try?

Is there an easy way to make a set of columns all equal in width (or
rows equal in height, for that matter)? I know in PowerPoint 2003
there is a table-tool that enables this and you can add a button to the
tool bar.
Running PowerPoint 2004 v 11.3, and Mac OS X 10.4.8
Thanks
