To save a presentation to the Web, you need a
Windows Live ID. The presentation is then saved to Windows Live as a
free service to PowerPoint users. This is very handy for sharing the
presentation online.

Tip
Go to www.home.live.com,
and click the Sign Up button. A Windows Live account from Microsoft is
free and provides you with an e-mail account as well as access to
Windows Live SkyDrive, the free online storage feature that enables you
to post and share presentations online.
Tip
Versions of PowerPoint prior to 2007 contained a Web toolbar, but
that feature is missing in PowerPoint 2010. Instead, you can add Web
tools to the Quick Access Toolbar. The tools you can place on the toolbar
include the Web Options button and Web Page Preview button.
Tip
You can share the presentation with others by using Live Messenger.
(When you sign up for Windows Live, you also get a free Live Messenger
account.) Just right-click a presentation displayed in step 9, choose
Share With Live Messenger, and follow the instructions.
