I dont have a Windows machine to hand, but wouldn't it be better to
insert the table as an Excel spreadsheet? Get the data from R into Excel
and then you should be able to insert the sheet into Powerpoint. Then it
will look pretty.
Write the table out with comma separators, and read into Excel. Or
maybe the DCOM package will help:
