I really missed show desktop when I moved to OS X. OPT-CMD-CLICK desktop does not hide all, it hides everything but the finder. So if you have 20 finder windows open, these remain…

Just press the F11 key.

The equivalent of Show Desktop is F11.

I have mapped Apple + D to show to the desktop with exposé. Just like Windows.

You can also use Butler to do this. You can use it's 'Show Desktop' command and put it in the Menubar as a button or set it as any hotkey you want. All completely free as well. U…

Windows is very different to Mac OS X, and the implementation is therefore very different. Windows is a window-centric OS, Mac OS X is an application-centric OS. In Windows, the …

In fact here's a script that will do it (made by combining two of Apple's example scripts): code: tell application "Finder" activate set visible of every process whose visible i…

Unfortunately, Word 2004 doesn't support text in Arabic or any other right-to-left writing system. Ironically, though, I suspect TextEdit would be able to read the files correctly …

Wow, thanks for the info. If you do try the cut & paste, let me know.

Looks like Quark doesn't support Arabic. I typed some random Arabic into TextEdit and pasted into Quark and it came out as "????????." But there's an Xtension that adds support.

Maybe your best bet is to have the arabic laid out in Illustrator then placed into Quark. The crucial thing about the process would be the line breaks, unless of course you can rea…

Sounds like there's no real easy way to do this. Still, I appreciate all the good info. I've sent it to my friend, and a link to this thread for him to keep an eye on. Thanks ag…
