Presentation ppt = new Presentation("test.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
Step 2: Get the table from presentation slide.
ITable table = ppt.Slides[0].Shapes[1] as ITable;
Step 3: Choose one table style from TableStylePreset and apply it to selected table.
table.StylePreset = TableStylePreset.MediumStyle2Accent2;
Step 4: Save the file.
ppt.SaveToFile("Result.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
