Hello Kathleen!
The new SignPuddle does much more than the old SignPuddle!

You have missed the detailed conversations on the List about the new  
ColumnMaker Button.

To make the columns different lengths, and to change the size of the  
SignWriting symbols, and to create columns in color, click on the  
ColumnMaker button that is directly beside any SignText document....

Here is the message from November 9th...

Dear SW Listers -
There is now a new button in SignPuddle, when you have a document in  
SignText.

The button only shows up if there is a document. It is called  
ColumnMaker:

SignPuddle ColumnMaker makes it possible to customize the look of  
your document.

In SignPuddle's ColumnMaker, you can (and this is not all):

1. Change the size of the symbols in an entire column.
2. Change the color of the symbols in an entire column.
3. Change the color of the background of an entire column.
4. Change the width and height of a column.
5. Change the amount of space between signs in a column.
6. Choose to color only the right hand, or left hand (based on the  
ISWA palm facing).
7. Choose to have multiple sizes of symbols in a column.
8. Choose to color only some signs in a column, and not others.

Thank you, Steve, for these remarkable new features, which I use  
everyday now.

Steve is still working on some of these features, related to  
SignMail, creating PDFs and so forth....

So while Steve is doing that, I am working on packaging our new  
DocumentMaker Pro program to post on the web for free download.

Here is one sample of some of the color combos in ColumnMaker....I  
like the pale yellow background for children ;-))

The color combinations and size combinations are endless and so  
creative! and it works well for the Blind too, giving a black  
background with yellow symbols if that is what is needed....  Val ;-)
