A bit strange to realize that WebEx doesn't support Office 2010 document sharing.
Below is the text from WebEx support. Though there is alternative (Desktop sharing) still I prefer the document sharing as this can be extended and I can continue taking notes or modifying upcoming tasks :)
Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit support for Productivity tools is available for customers on WBS 27.17. Productivity Tools support for Office 2010 64-bit & presentation/document sharing for Office 2010 32-bit and 64-bit versions is still in development. Early estimates place this support in January 2011.
Until full support for Office 2010 is deployed, application or desktop sharing is a viable workaround.
If you are stuck with Office 2010 & have to use webex, then the alternatives are below.
1. To share the desktop
2. To share the application
But note that this is not exactly the same as sharing the presentation. In Desktop sharing mode it shares the active screen, & in application it shares the specific application so you've to keep the presentation active.
Edit:
WebEx now officially supports Office 2010. However animations & transitions are not fully supported. So it seems still they've to do some work to make it fully supported. I've tried just now and for mycase I can run animations in Office 2010 ..
Look here for more info.
