Hi,

On windows, you can use a COM client (with packages like rcom or RDCOMClient) 
to control powerpoint from R and insert the generated image using powerpoint's 
object model. You can either use the clipboard or an intermediate image file 
saved to disk.

Not hard to do, but this seems to be already implemented in package RPPT 
recently released to CRAN, so have a look at it:

About the image format, using windows metafiles allows you to double-click the 
image in powerpoint, "ungroup", and then edit each of its components (text, 
lines, etc.)

Regards,

Enrique

Hi,

Is it possible to dump a series of plots directly into a powerpoint 
presentation (as is possible in Splus)?

Thank you,
Thomas
