PowerPoint does not enable you to apply 3-D effects to tables, so you have to fudge that by creating the 3-D effect with rectangles and then overlaying a transparent table on top of the shapes. As you can see in Figure 23-22, it’s a pretty convincing facsimile.

FIGURE 23-22
This 3-D table is actually a plain table with a 3-D rectangle behind it.

Here’s the basic procedure:

1. Create a rectangle from the Shapes group on the Insert tab, and apply a 3-D effect to it. Use any effect you like. To create the traditional “box” appearance as in Figure 23-22, apply the second Oblique preset and then in the 3-D Format options, increase the Depth setting to about 100 points.
2. Size the rectangle so that its face is the same size as the table.
3. On the Format tab, click Send to Back to send the rectangle behind the table.
4. Set the table’s fill to No Fill if it is not already transparent.
5. (Optional) Set the table’s outer frame border to None to make its edges appear to blend with the edges of the rectangle. To do that, open the Borders button’s menu and select Outside Border to toggle that off.
