I want to put six slides from a presentation I made on a page, save them and
then be able to e-mail them.

I know how to print a layout with six slides on each page. Is there a way to
save these and e-mail them instead of printing them?

You could print the 6-up handouts to a PDF driver and email the PDF.
http://www.rdpslides.com/psfaq/FAQ00008.htm should get you started.

I'm not familiar with using PDF drivers. Is there an online tutorial, online
directions or could you be more specific? Thanks.

PDF drivers are in effect "pseudo printer drivers" that "print" to PDF files
rather than to physical printers.

You'd install one, choose to print handouts, choose the PDF driver and print.

Result: a PDF of handouts that you can email to people.

Have you followed the link that Echo provided?

I did look at the link. I'm not 100% sure which one to download or if it
matters. Is there a free one you (or anybody) can recommend?

I've done a little testing with PDF995 and had no complaints at the time.

I'd try that or PrimoPDF

PDF 995 looks like it will work fine. Is there a way I can set the page
percentage to automatically display larger? It omes through at 118% now and
it looks better at 125%. Thanks for your help!

I think you'd need the full Acrobat or a similar program to do that and even there, it's
a matter of setting the view (ie, full screen, bookmarks or not, etc) rather than being
able to set specific percentage, as best I recall.
