Bing Images Search by People

Some keywords just belong to people! Typically, most pictures that are related to movies, sports, community activity, or physical fitness will have a human factor involved. So, it is not surprising that most pictures that show up as results for such keywords include people! Bing Image Search’s People filter goes a little more further, because it allows you to restrict your search to pictures where people’s faces are prominent, or their heads and shoulders are more prominent. Unfortunately, this filter does not let you search for pictures with silhouettes or even with no people at all—at least not yet.

Formatting Connectors within Flowcharts in Office 2011 for Mac

Once you add multiple connectors that emanate from a Decision shape, you need to help your users decide where they branch their thought or work processes within the flowchart. This is typically done by adding a Yes or No caption to the connectors that output from a Decision shape. Depending upon whether the user’s answer is Yes or No, they will decide which shape they need to move towards next within the flowchart — the Yes and No captions can be easily added by inserting individual text boxes.

How can I create a new PowerPoint presentation on Office Mobile?

Yes, it’s true – you cannot create a PowerPoint presentation from scratch using Office Mobile for the iPhone. Although you can create a Word document or an Excel sheet from scratch, the same is not true for PowerPoint presentations – there may be some workarounds but even then you are limited since you cannot add new slides to your presentations.

Duplicate Shapes by Dragging in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows

Shapes in PowerPoint are very useful in representing design or content, or in showing a process or a sequence. However, when you create a slide that has such many shapes that make a framework, you’ll find that most of your shapes may be of the same size and other attributes. Yes, you can go ahead and insert the same shape into PowerPoint repeatedly, but that will consume much of your productive time that you could have used elsewhere!

Using Flowchart and Connector Shapes Together in PowerPoint for Mac

Connectors are lines that link different flowchart shapes (or any shapes you place within your Microsoft Office documents). They are different from conventional lines because connectors, as the name implies stay connected to the shapes they are linked to. Move any “connected” shape, and the connectors move and reorient with the shapes automatically — we will explore this further in this tutorial.
