The PowerPoint library file is msppt.olb. You have to add it manually.

for 32bit You can find it in Program files(x86)/Microsoft Office/Officexx.

for 64bit You can find it in Program files/Microsoft Office/Officexx.

In select object from library window, click on browse and go to above mentioned location and then select the file. You shall be able to see in the library list then.
