@Tiffany317

You can copy/paste from Illustrator into MS Word, then copy/paste from MS Word into PowerPoint. Then you can right-click and "edit picture" to break it apart, recolor, etc. It will be fully scalable. Unfortunately, Powerpoint doesn't support copy/paste directly from Illustrator. (At least 2010 version doesn't.)

Edit: As joojaa has pointed out, you CAN paste directly from Illustartor into Powerpoint, but you have to right-click and paste as a picture. Thanks for the tip, joojaa!

Save your shape from Illustrator as .EMF file.
Go to PowerPoint -> Insert a picture -> select your .emf file and
click open.
At this point it will act as a picture. You will have to
right click the shape -> Group -> Ungroup.
A prompt will appear asking you if you want to convert it. Click yes and after Ungroup it one more time.
You will see that the shape has a transparent
shape/background. Delete that and group the elements again (if there are more than one).


Done!

Try to export your Illustrator file as EMF or WMF (File > Export).
They should be compatible with Windows Office software.
