Alternative to 'For i = 1 To .Table.Columns.Count'

[padlocked17]

I am currently using the following to format the cells in a table generated by Access in Powerpoint.

            With .Slides(index).Shapes(3)
                For i = 1 To .Table.Columns.Count
                    For j = 1 To .Table.Rows.Count
                        '.Table.Cell(j, i).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = " "
                        .Table.Cell(j, i).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 12
                        If j = 1 Then
                            .Table.Cell(j, i).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Bold = msoTrue
                        End If
                    Next
                Next

Any suggestions on how to make this process faster? I was thinking a:

.Table.Rows(x).Select

'Somehow do something with the selection
