I'm attempting to use the standalone package to create large tables to import to Microsoft PowerPoint. When I have attempted to use the 'size' and 'density' commands, the image looks very blurry after importing to PowerPoint. I have only been able to increase the table size by increasing the font size, which changes the dimensions and reduces the weight of midrule etc. I apologize for any faux pas, this is my first post.

I found a solution for bold faced numbers aligning. It is described in Josip W. article on page 73. I adopt it to @Mico solution as:

As can be seen, I add package etoolbox for macro rustify, change nice definition for boldface font and adequately change its use in selected cells. Now the table is:

Edit: Since I do not use PowerPoint, I don't know for all possibilities how to import LaTeX generated table into it. I test to include table as jpg picture, obtained by pdf to jpg conversion with services of web page pdf2jpg.net with selected pixel resolution 300 dpi. I'm satisfied with its results:

For above picture i change preamble of file and table as follows:

documentclass[border=1mm,

               12pt,% <-- bigger base fonts

               prewiev]{standalone}

    usepackage{booktabs,threeparttable,caption,siunitx}

    usepackage{etoolbox}

    newcommand{ubold}{fontseries{b}selectfont} % renew def. for non-extended bold font

    robustifyubold

Original table width was 12.01 cm. I manually enlarge this to 16 cm. Result you can see on above snippet of PowerPoint editor. Hope this gives some ideas, what you can do.

Anyway, in the first place I gives more attention how to generate nice looking table in LaTeX. By the way, if you include LaTeX table in PowerPoint, is not very sensible make table title in LaTeX, better is to do this in PowerPoint.

I'm not sure what the resizing is about. I would use a "normal" standalone document class and resize the table inside powerpoint. I would recommend, though, that you use a non-extended bold font for the numbers in the table; doing so will make it much easier to "line" up the numbers, visually speaking.

In the code below, I use the facilities of the siunitx package to achieve alignment of the numbers on the decimal markers.

If you use size AND density options of convert then the PDF is rastered to a PNG with the given density and afterwards resized to the requested size, which makes larger density setting ineffective again. I would simply recommend to drop the size setting and only use a suitable density. I would start with 600 (dpi) and go from there up or down as needed.
