Try using Edit-Paste Special in PowerPoint and selecting Enhanced Metafile.
This will copy the chart but doesn't include the pivot table placeholders.

Hi,
When I make a chart using a pivot table I see a blue rectangle box at
the top that says 'Drop Page Fields Here'. Is there a way I can hide
this box so that I can copy the entire chart to powerpoint.

Currently, when I do this, the 'Drop Page Fields Here' box gets copied
over as well thus making it look meaningless in powerpoint.

Thanks.
