How do I toast a bagel on the office coffee maker? (link)

First, make sure that each carafe is at least half full. Then cut your bagel in half and wrap each half in a paper towel. Place each half the wrapped bagel face first onto a heating plate on the coffee maker, then place the coffee carafe on top of it. The hotplate will heat the face of the bagel, while the pot heats the top of it. DO NOT LEAVE THE BAGEL UNATTENDED. After two minutes you should test the Bagel for doneness.

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.
