Include another site’s images without saving them locally rst.

This feature of Google Presentations is a bit of a rarity among web applications, so it could easily get lost,

although it’s really useful: you can drag and drop images from other web sites into your presentation, as

shown in Figure 4-13. Just open two browser windows side by side, click and hold the left mouse button

on the picture, and drag it into a blank spot within your presentation slide. (Note that this creates a copy

of the original image on Google’s servers, so the original server will not need to bear the bandwidth

burden when people view the image in your presentation.)
