VSTO

//Create a presentation
            PowerPoint.Presentation pres = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application
                          .Presentations.Add(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse);
            //Add a blank slide
            PowerPoint.Slide sld = pres.Slides.Add(1, PowerPoint.PpSlideLayout.ppLayoutBlank);

            //Add a 15 x 15 table
            PowerPoint.Shape shp = sld.Shapes.AddTable(15, 15, 10, 10, pres.PageSetup.SlideWidth - 20, 300);
            PowerPoint.Table tbl = shp.Table;
            int i = -1;
            int j = -1;

            //Loop through all the rows
            foreach (PowerPoint.Row row in tbl.Rows)
            {
                i = i + 1;
                j = -1;

                //Loop through all the cells in the row
                foreach (PowerPoint.Cell cell in row.Cells)
                {
                    j = j + 1;
                    //Get text frame of each cell
                    PowerPoint.TextFrame tf = cell.Shape.TextFrame;
                    //Add some text
                    tf.TextRange.Text = "T" + i.ToString() + j.ToString();
                    //Set font size of the text as 10
                    tf.TextRange.Paragraphs(0, tf.TextRange.Text.Length).Font.Size = 10;
                }
            }

            //Save the presentation to disk
            pres.SaveAs("tblVSTO.ppt",
                  PowerPoint.PpSaveAsFileType.ppSaveAsPresentation,
                  Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse);

The following steps add a table to a Microsoft PowerPoint slide using Aspose.Slides:

• Create a presentation.
• Add a 15 x 15 table to the first slide.
• Add text to each cell of the table with a font size of 10.
• Write the presentation to disk.

Aspose.Slides

//Create a presentation
            Presentation pres = new Presentation();

            //Access first slide
            Slide sld = pres.GetSlideByPosition(1);

            //Add a table
            Aspose.Slides.Table tbl = sld.Shapes.AddTable(50, 50, pres.SlideSize.Width - 100, pres.SlideSize.Height - 100, 15, 15);

            //Loop through rows
            for (int i = 0; i < tbl.RowsNumber; i++)
                //Loop through cells
                for (int j = 0; j < tbl.ColumnsNumber; j++)
                {
                    //Get text frame of each cell
                    TextFrame tf = tbl.GetCell(j, i).TextFrame;
                    //Add some text
                    tf.Text = "T" + i.ToString() + j.ToString();
                    //Set font size of 10
                    tf.Paragraphs[0].Portions[0].FontHeight = 10;
                    tf.Paragraphs[0].HasBullet = false;
                }

            //Write the presentation to the disk
            pres.Write("tblSLD.ppt");
