There are new co-authoring capabilities that allow you to edit the same presentation, at the same time, with people in different locations. You can even communicate as you work, directly from PowerPoint. If you work in a company running Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010, this functionality can be used within the firewall. With Office Communicator you can view presence information to see the availability of other authors and initiate instant message or voice calls directly within PowerPoint.

If you’re in a small company you can take advantage of co-authoring features through Windows Live. All you need is a free Windows Live account to concurrently edit presentations with others. An instant messenger account (such as the free Windows Live Messenger) is required to view presence of authors and start an instant messaging conversation.
