Hello Anny and Everyone!
I know Steve has already answered you, but here is my answer. YES!  
You can...There are several ways to do that, that are not yet  
features of SignText, but if you now computers you can do it...

Copying Signs from SignText into Documents
Part 1...continued next email

1. Bookmark the sentence first, so you have a saved copy of the  
sentence.

2. Click on the SignMail Icon in SignText Options Page (not in  
SignPuddle, but in SignText there is SignMail too)

3. Email the sentence to yourself with a text comment at the bottom  
and you get everything you need for your files...You can then save  
your emailed messages like an Archive, in your email software...with  
the spoken language comments at the bottom of the email message...See  
diagram below.

I never completed the SignText Reference Manual...I am sorry...this  
should have been explained there...I know that Steve will be  
improving the program, so I held back from writing more manual  
pages...smile...

Are you still in Mac OS 9, Anny? Or are you using Mac OS X now? What  
version? What is your email software? Val ;-)
