Topic moved to the Windows forum.

PowerPoint can't do that.
You need to export from Audacity as a file (for example a WAV file), then insert the file into your PowerPoint presentation.

You mean you want to put an image of the Audacity window, showing the graphic display of the waveform, onto a Powerpoint slide? Try Help>Screenshot Tools That will create the image file for you. Then add that image file as you would any other.
