Bing Images Search by Type
 For almost every search term that you input on Bing's Image Search, you get results with
tons of pictures scoured from every nook and corner of the internet. With so many choices, finding that perfect
picture can become a challenge -- especially when you need a picture that's more akin to an illustration rather
than a camera-clicked photograph. Similarly you may want to explore pictures that look like clipart. So in this
tutorial, we will explore Bing's Type filter that lets you narrow down your search results to yield exactly the
"type" of pictures you need.

Bing Images Search by Layout
 Searching for the right picture online involves more than just entering a search
term and then praying that you find a picture that works best for you! You need to do a little more -- and that
"little more" may be as simple a task as using a filter on the Bing Image Search site. Several common filters
are available to narrow down your search results on Bing Images Search -- and one of these filters is Layout
-- with this filter, you can restrict your search to pictures which are widescreen, square, or tall in orientation.

Add SkyDrive Accounts to Office Mobile

We already showed you how you can navigate within a PowerPoint presentation within Office Mobile for iOS – now
let us explore how you can open and save presentations saved in your SkyDrive account. When you sign in using your
Office 365 account credentials, you immediately get access to all the files stored on the cloud for that particular
Office 365 account. However, you may have a different SkyDrive account too where you share or store your PowerPoint
files. To access any of these files, you need to add what Office Mobile calls a “place”. A place is
allocation, typically another SkyDrive account that Office Mobile can connect to.

Setting Spell Check Options
Sometimes while working in PowerPoint it may so happen that you know a particular word is misspelled, but
PowerPoint's spell check doesn't seem to think so! This may be because your word is in all CAPS, or it may
contain some numbers -- in these cases, and in number of other instances, PowerPoint just ignores any
misspellings. Fortunately, you can turn off the options that instruct PowerPoint to ignore these
misspellings. Remember though that changing these options will apply to all Microsoft Office applications
you have installed on your computer -- including Word, Excel, and Outlook.
Find and Replace Words
Imagine this situation -- you created a long presentation for a particular event or concept and then
realize that you used the wrong terminology throughout the presentation. Then what would you do? Of
course you can manually find the problem word and replace its each occurrence. But what if you have
more than a few slides? Or even then, you might miss out locating the problem word in some occurrences.
The best solution is using PowerPoint's Find and Replace option.

Manipulating Shapes by Dragging Yellow Squares
There are so many different types of shapes that PowerPoint provides you with, and you can format these shapes
by resizing, rotating, flipping, etc. Other than these basic formatting tasks, you must explore the special
yellow square handles. Shapes in PowerPoint generally when selected, display eight resizing handles and a
single rotation handle. In addition, some shapes also have one or more yellow square handles -- these yellow
square handles enables you to change some facets of the selected shape, or in some cases you can change the entire shape.
Format Painter
You can easily duplicate stuff in PowerPoint -- you can just select a shape and press the Command+D key combination.
However, such duplication copies everything: the shape, and its format attributes, such as all fills, outlines, and
effects. Sometimes you may only want to use those fill, outline, and effect attributes for other shapes you create.
Fortunately, the Format Painter command can rescue you from this monotonous task very easily. So what does the Format
Painter command do?
Select, Deselect, View, and Hide Shapes Using the Selection Pane
To format any slide object in PowerPoint, you must select it. There are couple of ways with which you can select any
slide object. Other than the obvious way of clicking the slide object to select, you can also use the Selection Pane.
It’s always more difficult to select overlapping slide objects or objects placed behind a larger object in busy,
populated slides -- to select slide objects that are difficult to locate, you can use the Selection Pane.
