Yes, I definitely want to test printing the Brazilian Sign Language Dictionary as part of the SignBank 8.5 project. I now have enough memory to do this. If we can get that working, that would be quite an accomplishment.<br><br>Charles Butler<br><br><br><b><i>Valerie Sutton <sutton@signwriting.org></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> SignWriting List<br>September 1, 2007<br><br>On Aug 31, 2007, at 7:30 PM, K.J.

I need to test Document Maker <br>the way it is right now, with some users, and I am asking if we can <br>test it with all of you on the SignWriting List? Are there a few of <br>you, who would like to learn to take a document already created in <br>SignText, and learn how to print it as a document in Document Maker? <br>It means you will have to download a very large file on the web <br>(SignBank 8.5), to use it on your hard drive, and then I can teach <br>you step by step how to print a document in different
formats with <br>the current Document Maker...and then your feedback will help me tell <br>Todd new features that we need for the future standalone version...<br><br>Anyone interested in testing Document Maker with me on the List?<br><br>I will wait for replies and prepare lessons while I am waiting!<br><br>Many thanks in advance -<br><br>Val ;-)<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>____________________________________________<br><br>SW-L SignWriting List<br><br>Post Message<br>SW-L@majordomo.valenciacc.edu<br><br>List Archives and Help<br>http://www.signwriting.org/forums/swlist/<br><br>Change Email Settings<br>http://majordomo.valenciacc.edu/mailman/listinfo/sw-l<br><br></blockquote><br>
