Erin,
Another option.  I'm saving R screens as postscript files, opening them 
in Ghostview and copying and pasting to blank slides in Powerpoint. 
I can't detect any deterioration in quality.  Convenient when you have a 
lot of slides to make in a hurry.  Ghostview and
Ghostscript (required to run Ghostview) are freeware on the web.
