ESRI Maps for Office is another solution to present geospatial data in Powerpoint. It allows you to use web maps from ArcGIS Online as dynamic slides within any PowerPoint presentation.

While the question has been answered very well (and this is very late), here's an "aesthetic" solution for those getting here via Google (like me) that I just did recently for a Powerpoint:
(1) Insert screenshot of the KML in Google Earth to the Powerpoint
(2) Right click the screenshot to add Hyperlink...

I think the closest thing to scale dependent layers in KML is Regions.
However, Layer To KML does not write them and I do not think they would support the concept of scale dependent labels. There is a document on KML support in ArcGIS that mentions that regions are not written.
Examples of KML items not supported in exported KML files include

Like PolyGeo said,
Open layer properties
Click the 'Fields' Tab
Make sure only the fields you want in your KMZ are checked

In the OGR link above there is also a ...

Import the KML or GPX polyline (Layer > Add vector layer...).
Import the elevation data (Layer > Add raster layer...)
Either: create a buffer area around the polyline (Vector >

The free level of CartoDB could easily handle what you're trying to do- very powerful and simple to use so far. Leaflet or the new MapBox.js tools are powerful but more work to learn over basic CartoDB. Simple MapBox hosted maps could work for you too- they are fun to play with! Otherwise try geocommons for a hosted but feature rich option for less developer ...
