Hello Honza and Everyone!
It is my pleasure to help you. SignPuddle, SignText and SignBank can  
work together to give you everything you need.

I am going to teach you, step by step to do the following....

How to...

1. Create Vocabulary Lists with SignText offline
2. Export Vocabulary Lists from SignText to PNGs (two methods)
3. Create a CD database from PNGs to SignBank

You may be using the newest version of SignText...I do not know...but  
the point is, you may not realize some of the techniques how to use  
the software.

I have the same problem with other software like Photoshop...I do not  
know all the techniques in that big program either!!

So be patient and keep asking me questions, ok?!

I will start next message:

Create Vocabulary Lists with SignText Offline

Look for it...

Val ;-)
