The truth about Google
• Google is a business, not a service
• When you Google something, the results are different from when your friend Googles it
• Examine the website carefully

• There’s also a layout for a title with a light background.
• And a layout for a plain slide and one with just a heading.
• If you need more layouts you can make extra masters. Go to Master slide view and create new ones.
• Marvellous isn’t it?
