Yes.  Use the Add Application button and then navigate to where you 
installed PowerPoint.  Click on the powerpoint executable and then go 
back and click on the application and then the Libraries tab.  Select 
riched20 and that should set it to "Native, builtin".  Click on the 
Apply button to save this change.  Do not click on the OK button as this 
will close winecfg.  Click to the Applications tab and click on the 
Default Settings item.  Then click on libraries and remove the riched20 
AND riched32 entries.

It is BEST to use different wine prefixes for different programs, but 
not totally necessary.
