Hi Maria,<br>
Unfortunately, I don't have a release date yet. For the time
being, I am programing it in my spare time while I use my non-spare
time to try to make ends meet. So basically it's a funding problem.
But I do promise that I will try get a release ASAP even if it's not a
final. <br>
Thank you for your interest. It's very encouraging for me.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Maria,
My program called "The SignWriter Studio" has many features, one of
them being SignWriting Documents. It has been a big project. Some of
it´s goals have been faster sign input, keyboard input, standalone
program not needing internet, multi-spoken language to signlanguage,
sign lists to helps students learn new signs.
I am still working on the printing routines but the goal is that the
columns flow into the space available. So it can do any size page. I
have it working were it will accommodate and re flow to the window size.
Here is an update of the progress of my program.

<pre wrap="">Hi Jonathan,
All the features mentioned are exactly what I need, but the most imp one
is that when you add a column of signwriting in the middle of the
document, all following columns move to accomodate it. Like writing
spoken languages in Word, you can insert a paragraph wherever you like
and
everything else moves to accomodate it (I don't know what this is called
in technical terms, I'm sure there is a word for it :)
So you are working on a program for signwriting documents?
What about the option of printing A5 is that possible in this program?
Thanks for your response,
Maria

<pre wrap="">Hi Maria,
I don't know of any other program yet. Mine is progressing but
unfinished. My document suite lets the document flow on the screen
from
one column to the next. I haven't done the printing part yet but was
intending to do it in similar fashion. So when you add some text, what
doesn't fit on one page flows to the next, etc. The idea is also to
be
able to have inline pictures within any of the 3 lanes of the column.
I
can also have gloss on the signwriting or not.
Is this what you were wanting? What other editing features would
be
important for you?

<pre wrap="">Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone on the list has experience transferring long
signwriting documents into another program (such as DocumentMaker) and
maybe could suggest another program which is a little more flexible?
DocumentMaker is very good of course, however I am thinking in terms
of
very long documents and one limitation in DocumentMaker is the
following:
Say you have completed 50 pages, then whilst editing you realise you
need
to add another column somewhere inbetween, say at page 25, if you add
the
column there at page 25, all that follows does not change (because
each
page is saved separately). It would be really good if there was a
program
that allowed for this flexibility.
Thanks to all,
maria
