If you have the proper DirectShow filters installed and try to add a
sound to a PowerPoint presentation, MS PowerPoint 2007 will allow you
to insert *.oga and *.spx.
I'm using illminable's oggcodecs from the xiph.org downloads section,
one of the really recent versions that knows about .oga (vs. .ogg).
I don't know about earlier versions of MS Office.
(They make me use MS software where I work.)

I'm not sure if PowerPoint uses the DirectShow backend for media
playback. If it does, installing the oggdsf package will (in theory)
do the trick.
Being able to embed such files in PowerPoint is more unlikely, though,
since I'm sure Microsoft restricts what kind of file types you can
embed in presentations and, well, they don't like Ogg.
