Hi List,<br>
<br>
A while back I was talking with Val. She mentioned there was a school
that liked to use SignText but was frustrated by its limitations. Like
Val, I enjoy working on stuff that gets used. So I made some major
improvements to SignText including basic editing, saving, loading,
email, and display.<br>
<br>
Val says she will update the instructions, but for the daring...<br>
<br>
<b>Basic Editing with the mini-cons</b><br>
Each sign in the sign sentence has 9 special icons that help with
editing<br>
<img src="cid:part1.04070407.09070502@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
<br>
<img src="cid:part2.08020706.05050905@signpuddle.net" alt=""> - Load
this sign into the SignBox<br>
<img src="cid:part3.06020300.00060507@signpuddle.net" alt=""> - Delete
this sign from sentence<br>
<img src="cid:part4.00010606.09040202@signpuddle.net" alt=""> - Replace
this sign in the sentence with the sign in SignBox<br>
<img src="cid:part5.06050008.00090602@signpuddle.net" alt=""> - Insert
the sign in the SignBox above this sign<br>
<img src="cid:part6.05050002.05030005@signpuddle.net" alt=""> - Insert
the sign in the SignBox below this sign<br>
<img src="cid:part7.07010503.08020504@signpuddle.net" alt=""> - Change
the lane of this sign<br>
<img src="cid:part8.06060804.02010500@signpuddle.net" alt=""> - Move
this sign up or down in the sentence<br>
<br>
