It's not quite that simple.  There was some discussion on r-sig-mac 
earlier today.  It turns out to be quite hard to get good quality graphics 
into MS Office documents on the Mac.   The natural thing to use is PDF, 
but Office rasterises this, and not very well.

For Powerpoint it appears that the best solution that doesn't require 
other software may be png(), but for written documents that may be less 
satisfactory.
