Using DBsign on OS X/MacOS. Recent updates to OS X/MacOS and Java have raised many new questions regarding DBsign. In this document, we will address the most common issues that we see. There are many web sites and forums out there with solutions to DBsign related issues. Some of this information is good, some is outdated, and some is completely. Imagine a 640 x 400 Doom display in the mid of a black Mac classic desktop with an optional application bar on top. There's only a static startup logo for the 'Doom II demo' with a few Mac OS buttons, and, if you fiddle with the mouse while playing, you get an application bar with some options. Apr 28, 2014 NOTE: To download Mavericks for a new install, you need to be already running Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or a newer 10.7, or 10.8 version, so that you have the App Store. It would help if we knew what version of Mac OS X your current running, and what Mac you are using?

Salvation (itch) (sabeltanz) mac os. Powerpoint may not be aware of the Exposé controls, ie F9 - F11, but it looks like Keynote is. I tried this hint to switch from a Keynote presentation I was playing with, and none of the Exposé keys did anything. Dress code: human mac os. Apparently when the presentation is active it disables system function keys. Too bad.
Looks like others are running into this limitation with Keynote as well. Somehow it disables using the Exposé keys. Doh! Why Apple?
My guess is if Exposé works, cmd-tab will work too.
I can't use keynote until I can switch out of presentation mode to demo mode *somehow*. Anyone have ideas?
No, but this is a major irritation.
Powerpoint has this behavior by default, so somehow Keynote must be DISABLING this ability, so it should be very easy to re-enable it, if one had access to the source code.
Powerpoint also has hyperlinks, which allow you to do this sort of thing as well, prior to 10.3.
I would gladly erase Powerpoint from my hard drive if Keynote were more reliable. Keynote also started corrupting files that Powerpoint handles without a problem.
Powerpoint was originally developed for the Mac platform and microsoft bought the technology. Perhaps that is why it is better than a typical microsoft program.
Sorry, I should have elaborated on my setup a little more. I have Expose's F9 action activated when the mouse hits the lower left corner of the screen.
That's why Expose activated when I overshot the PowerPoint Slide Show controls with my mouse.
Rob, I know you think this hint is silly, but Its one of the most fantastically useful hints, at least for mw, today. please continue posting clever uses of expose'

Perhaps my add-on wasn't clear enough .. I'm OK with 'clever uses of Exposé,' which I'll continue to publish. However, I was thinking of more basic stuff like 'You can use Exposé to hide Excel windows when switching to Word.' I see no point in continuing to publish stuff at that level given all that we've written so far about Exposé.
