Import "shapes" from external programs as vector - NOT AS IMAGE
Does anyone know of a way to import a custom shape created in an external
program (ie. Illustrator) into powerpoint and retain the vector data information so that it can be filled and effected as any other "shape" I've looked all over the place and tried a number of options to do this. Thanks! -chris

Yes, I do this a lot. Export in WMF or EMF format. Import into PowerPoint and
ungroup. You'll get a question about whether you want to convert it to PowerPoint objects. Say Yes. You'll have to ungroup it a second time. They you can edit in PowerPoint. I've done this to import charts created in Illustrator and was then able to add a wipe animation to the bars of the chart.
