How do I get rid of "Sent from My iPhone" messages? (link)

Removing the “Sent from My iPhone” Signature

This is actually the same on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, though we’ll focus on the iPhone for obvious reasons:

  • Tap on the “Settings” app
  • Tap on “Mail, Contacts, Calendars”
  • Scroll down a ways and then tap on “Signature”
  • Tap “Clear”, or just select all the text and delete it manually

Now exit from Settings. Any time a new mail message has been composed, sent, or replied to, the iPhone will no longer attach the “Sent from my iPhone” message with any emails.

I lost the document I was working on. Where should I look for it (Office 2010)? (link)

If your computer crashes or the Office 2010 application you are using fails click on "File" > "Options" > " Save" and look for the "Auto Recovery file location". Copy that location and paste in into your Run window (Start > Run in XP Start > Search files and folders in Windows 7).  You can also browse to this location.

If you do not find your document use Search to search for any file that was created during the timeframe you worked on your document. While you work on a document temporary files are created and by opening these files ( .tmp files) with word or wordpad you may find your document.

Is Box for Office available for Mac users? (link)

No, unfortunately not. From the Box.com website:

Box for Office is not compatible with the following products:

  • Office 2007 or older
  • Windows XP or older
  • Any version of Office for Mac
    • Unfortunately, the Mac version of Office is not nearly as extensible as the version on Windows, so it is not currently possible for developers to create as rich of an integration.
