Tables and charts in PowerPoint use the same tools as Word and Excel, adapted for a slide.
Insert tab → Table — the same mechanics as inserting a table in Word.
Insert tab → Chart opens a small Excel-like data sheet behind the scenes. Edit the numbers there and the chart on the slide updates automatically.
The same SmartArt feature from Word works here — Insert tab → SmartArt turns a typed list into a process diagram, cycle, or hierarchy chart automatically, a fast way to visualize a structure without drawing individual shapes.
