Moving from Office Live Workspace to SkyDrive
If you don’t have an account at Office Live Workspace or have never heard of that service before, please skip this.Office Live Workspace is an online storage service from Microsoft where you can upload documents directly from any of the Office programs using the Office Live add-in. The service was launched some two years ago and offered 5 GB of free storage space to all users.
Microsoft also maintains another cloud based storage service called Windows Live SkyDrive that not only offers five times more storage space (25 GB) but is even integrated with Office Web Apps. That means you can view and even edit your Office documents in the browser through SkyDrive.
Since Windows Live SkyDrive now offers all the features that were available in Office Live Workspace (and even more), it make little sense to have them both.
Therefore Microsoft is now giving users a simple one-click option to help them copy move all their documents from Office Live Workspace to Windows Live Skydrive.
To get started, sign-in to your Office Live Workspace account with your Windows Live ID and click the “Upgrade now” button. All your documents will be transferred to Skydrive (they’ll send you an email once the transfer is complete) and you can then permanently abandon your Workspace account.
Please note that existing “workspaces” will become “folders” in Windows Live SkyDrive while your Lists and Notes will converted to .xlsx and .docx formats respectively.

Do More with your Browser’s Search Box
The search box is located in the upper right corner of IE and Firefox while Chrome has this thing integrated in the address bar itself. The function is however the same – it offers you a convenient way to search using your favorite search engine.
Other than search, there are some more interesting uses of the search bar as well.
1. Avoid Spelling Mistakes
If you writing an email inside the browser and are unsure about the spelling of some word, you can simply type that misspelled word in the search box.
Google will immediately offer you the correct spelling as a query suggestion that you can copy-paste into your email message.
2. Clean-up Formatting from Copied Text
When copying content from a web page into an email message, you can first paste that text into your browser’s search box and then copy it to the clipboard.
This will automatically convert the rich text into plain text removing all the hyperlinks and other formatting that you don’t want to add to your email message.
3. Correct Grammar Errors
The search box can also help you fix grammatical errors in your sentences.
Say you sometimes get confused between words like ‘affect’ and ‘effect’ or between ‘advise’ and ‘advice.’ In that case, just type the whole sentence in the search box and it should save you from making that silly grammatical error again.
4. Search Box as a Notepad
The search bar can be used like a notepad as it automatically stores all your search queries until you clear them manually.
This is so useful because you can easily save pieces of text in the search bar that you may repeatedly need inside your browser later.
For instance, I have an airway bill number of a package that I can store in the search box by performing a search only once. Later, when I am on the shipping company’s website to track the package status, I can easily retrieve that number by simply typing the first few characters in the search box -- there’s no need for me to hunt for the email that has that tracking number.
5. As your Password Manager
Ever since my Gmail account got hacked, I have switched to a very long and complex password. Now it may be hard for someone to guess that password but it is equally hard for me to type that lengthy string correctly especially when everything in a password field is represented as asterisk characters.
I therefore store this ‘complex password’ in the search box. Whenever I am need my my Google Account credentials, I simply type the first few characters of the password in the search box, the string appears in the drop-down from where I can copy-paste it into the password box. Here’s a demo:
This method saves time but, obviously, it is not recommended for people who work on a shared computer.
