Fit table on single slide Proc Report ODS Powerpoint

[afettig]

I'm trying to fit a table onto one PP slide.  The problem is I can't figure out how to adjust row/cell height/spacing/margin.  I've tried using 'height', 'cellpadding', 'cellspacing'.  I've tried making each of those very small and very large, in "in" and "pt" but it never changes my output.  I must be using them incorrectly.  Not even sure if that is what I should be using to achieve my goal.  Tried searching for this problem and how to use those style options with not much luck. 

I made a test table with sashelp.cars that has the same number of rows as my actual data to hopefully make this easier to help me.  I've attached what I get vs what I want.  Slides 1-2 are the current output.  Slide 3 is what I want.

proc sql outobs = 41;
create table car_test as
select make, model
from sashelp.cars
;quit;
run;

ods _all_ close;
run;

options orientation= landscape papersize=letter nodate nonumber topmargin= .025in bottommargin= .001in
        leftmargin= .5in rightmargin= .5in ;
ods noproctitle ;
ods escapechar ="^" ;
title ;
footnote ;

ods powerpoint file ="/mypath/test.pptx";

***Create first slide;
proc odstext;
p "Test title" / style=[FONT_WEIGHT=BOLD FONT_SIZE=13 just=l];
run;

ods layout gridded x=0.25in y=1.125in;
ods region;

option center;

proc report nowd data = car_test
style(header)=[font_weight=bold background=CXD3ADD9 foreground=black just=c fontsize=7pt]
style(column)=[just=c fontsize=7pt verticalalign=middle height=9pt];
col make model;
run;

ods layout end;
ods powerpoint close;
ods listing;
run;

https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/Changing-ODS-Powerpoint-Slide-Title-Size/td-p/... shows how to change the size of the title for PowerPoint.

You can use PROC PRINT to print the first 20 rows, then another PROC PRINT to print the remaining 21 rows.  

proc sql outobs=41;
	create table car_test as select make, model from sashelp.cars;
quit;

run;
ods _all_ close;
run;

* use style template to change size of title font.  see

* for more details.  ;

ods path (prepend) work.templat(update);
proc template;
  define style styles.mystyle;
    parent = styles.powerpointlight;
    class systemtitle / 
      fontsize=13pt
      fontweight=bold
      textalign=left;
  end;
run;

Split 41 row table into 2 pieces to display in PowerPoint

Hi:

  I think Suzanne has a good idea with the 2 column approach. I heard from my contact in Tech Support that you can't get the cellpadding any smaller than 5pt with PowerPoint as a destination, so shrinking cellpadding as a method to fit more on the slide won't work.

My actual table I'm reporting out has more than 2 columns of data so unfortunately this is not a feasible option.
