I didn't know it was possible to save a whole section of a SignPuddle web site, to your desktop, and then use it offline, on your computer...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Stefan taught me how to do this by creating an instruction document. Here it is:</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Lucida Grande">Sign-Vocabulary-Lists by Handshape</FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Lucida Grande"><A href="http://www.SignWriting.org/archive/docs3/sw0237-SignPuddle-SymbolFrequency.pdf">http://www.SignWriting.org/archive/docs3/sw0237-SignPuddle-SymbolFrequency.pdf</A></FONT></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>How does this work? While on the internet, on SignPuddle, in the Symbol-Frequency section, you search for all the signs that use a certain handshape, creating a Sign-Vocabulary List. Then use the Save-As command in your web-browser, to save the Sign-Vocabulary-List to your desktop. You can then go off the internet, to work with the signs on your desktop, rather than on the web......Very valuable information for people with dial-up modems. Thank you, Stefan!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Val ;-)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>PS.

Create a folder on our desktop.</DIV><DIV>8. Save As to that folder, giving your file a name.</DIV><DIV>9. Leave SignPuddle.</DIV><DIV>10. Open your folder on your desktop.</DIV><DIV>11. Open the file inside.</DIV><DIV>12. There is your Vocabulary List of all the signs using that one handshape.</DIV><DIV>13. Copy and paste those signs into other documents.</DIV></BODY></HTML>
