Share your PowerPoint Presentation using Google Docs

You use PowerPoint, and love it, but (believe it or not), many people don't.  So, how do you go about sharing your presentation with everyone, regardless of what they have (or don't have) installed on their PC?  There are a few ways to accomplish this.  One way is to create a free account with a site such as SlidePoint  (http://www.slidepoint.net), which provides software for you to convert your ppt/pptx files into their proprietary format then upload and share publicly.  However, since I'm a Google fan, I'm going to walk you through uploading and sharing a PowerPoint presentation using Google Docs.  It's very straightforward:

1. Goto http://docs.google.com
2. On the top left, click on the "upload" button, just to the right of the "Create" button, then select "Files..."
3. Find and select your PowerPoint file (.ppt/pptx)
4. You'll be presented with an "Upload settings" dialog.  Leave the settings as is
5. Click "Start upload"
6. Wait while the file is uploaded - you should see a status on the lower-left corner
7. The file will now show up in your document list.  Click on it to open.
8. Click the blue "Share" button in the top-right corner
9. Under "Who has access", click the "Change..." link next to "Private - Only ...."
10. Select "Public on the web", and hit save
11. The link to share with others is in the "Link to share" textbox
12. Click "Done".  Your presentation is now shared to anyone with an Internet connection.
