Generate a presentation, MyTablePresentation, that you then use as the template presentation for another presentation. MyTablePresentation has one slide with one table

import mlreportgen.ppt.*
ppt = Presentation("MyTablePresentation");
open(ppt);
slide1 = add(ppt,"Title and Table");
replace(slide1,"Title","Magic Square Slide 1");
replace(slide1,"Table",Table(magic(3)));

Close and view the presentation.

close(ppt);
rptview(ppt);

Create a presentation, MyNewTablePresentation, from MyTablePresentation. MyTablePresentation is the template presentation for MyNewTablePresentation, 

ppt = Presentation("MyNewTablePresentation","MyTablePresentation");
open(ppt);

Find the template table by using the find method of the slide object. Because the table comes from a template presentation slide, find returns the table as an mlreportgen.ppt.TemplateTable object. 

slide1 = ppt.Children(1);
templateTableObj1 = find(slide1,"Table")
templateTableObj1 = 
  TemplateTable with properties:
