First, Karen, I am glad you downloaded Firefox and that is excellent. It is important to continue to use Firefox for a variety of reasons.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Second, you are right. I went to the ASL Dictionary, and I logged in...When I logged in and searched for CONGRESS I found that it is one of the old signs that was pasted in as a graphic, years ago, from the old SignWriter DOS program...It has to be re-written in SignPuddle to become a sign that you can copy, paste, and edit etc...so this is the very reason why it is important that signs from SignWriter DOS are re-written in SignPuddle, and not pasted as graphics...</div><div><br></div><div>3. Coincidentally, today I asked Steve to find all the old signs in the ASL dictionary that are still "pasted graphics", so we can go into the Dictionary and re-write those signs specifically, and Steve gave us a new way to find those signs, for editors who want to help...so we are planning to re-write all those signs in the future...right now, the sign for Congress is not accessible because of this, although you can find it...you just cannot copy it...</div><div><br></div><div>4. So...why not open a second browser, and find Congress, and while viewing the sign in the second browser, click on SignMaker in Firefox, and re-write the sign from the beginning, without copying it?...</div><div><br></div><div>That would be a great help for all of us!</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps - We hope to have all those signs re-written in the month of June, so this problem should disappear shortly ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>Val ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>----------</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><div>On Jun 6, 2008, at 11:17 AM, Karen wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div class="Section1"><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 18); font-size: 14px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: -1; ">Thank you for the reply.
