get numbers chart into powerpoint

I have a numbers document, and have made a chart in numbers. I need to put this into a powerpoint presentation. how is this done? the only way I can do it is to take a screenshot of the numbers chart, and then make the background transparent in photoshop. there has to be an easier way…

I don't have powerpoint on my machine, but I have obtained good results in producing powerpoint presentations by exporting from Keynote. So I suggest you copy your chart into a keynote presentation and export that to powerpoint.

if powerpoint just doesn't seem to do that good of a job at converting the chart, you could always just grab a screen shot using the built in screen shot functions in OSX to get it right. Just use the same background in keynote that you wish to use in powerpoint, copy it, then paste it right back onto a slide. place the other objects above it..

Just how I have done it before, real workaround, but it works,
