SUMMARY
For each text block in PowerPoint, PowerPoint accepts a maximum number of nineteen user defined tab spaces. If you try to insert more than nineteen tabs, nothing happens.



MORE INFORMATION
If you need this many tabs to create a table, use any of the following methods:  Use the Table AutoLayout feature. Use an Excel worksheet to format a table and insert it on a PowerPoint slide. Use the Word table feature. Use a Microsoft Graph datasheet. To create a table in Graph, follow these steps:  Insert a new Microsoft Graph object. In Graph, select the Datasheet window.</li> Enter the data on the datasheet as you want it to appear in your presentation.

NOTE: Datasheets don't support many table formatting features, such as customizable borders, adjustable row height, and word wrap.</li> Highlight the data you want to include in your presentation.</li> On the Edit menu, click Copy.</li> End your Graph editing session.</li> If necessary, delete the Graph object that was created in your presentation.</li> On the Edit menu, click Paste Special. Select Picture and click Paste.</li></ol>

Your table is pasted into your slide as a picture. If you want to remove the gridlines, double-click the picture to turn it into several PowerPoint objects and remove the gridlines one at a time.</li></ul>
