Improve tables (bulk edit rows, columns, merge cells, resize to not fill width)
M
Manish Vaishnav
I am getting more familiar with Gamma and have started using it more frequently compared to PowerPoint. I particularly appreciate the beautiful table designs in Gamma. However, I’ve noticed that tables automatically resize to fit the full width of the page, and there is no option to reduce the overall table width. While it is possible to adjust individual column widths within the table, the table itself cannot be resized as a whole. It would be a great improvement if the ability to adjust the overall table size could be introduced.
Thank you!

Bulk edit columns and rows in tables

Some tables have a column that is a "primary key" with very little content, and other columns with a lot of text. The primary key column is 1 line of text, and occupies a lot of space for no content. If vertical text orientation was possible, it would keep readability while allowing dedicating most space to actual content in tables.

Refined Table Management

Allow more refined table management. Ability to merge cells. Ability to resize columns independently. Ability to insert images inside table cells.

Chart Formatting - Extremely limited for formatting fields/cells/columns in bulk
Keaton Kay
So I create a table, and want to build a RASCI matrix. I have to go into each cell individually and click center text. 50%+ formatting options disappear when selecting multiple cells, or a column/row/table.
Want to highlight selected fields, and change formatting in bulk. When selecting multiple, most of the formatting options go away.
Would be really nice to select what we want to change and change it with ease. One by one is extremely frusturating.

Thanks Keaton. Agree tables need a bit of love. I'm going to merge your suggestion into our 'improve tables' post

Column selection
Tati Dorosh
When text is divided into separate columns on the table, it is impossible to select the text in all the columns simultaneously using Ctrl.
For example, if I have text on a page that is split into separate columns, and I want to edit only the title of each column, I cannot click Ctrl and highlight all the titles at once to change them in one click

Aligner le texte dans les tableaux

Bonjour,
Il n'est pas possible d'aligner l'ensemble du texte de plusieurs lignes et colonnes d'un tableau en un seul clic. Cela nous ferait gagner beaucoup de temps.
Merci

Would be greate if we can the cells we want, not the whole column or row, and be able to format them, as well as merge them
