AW: [sw-l] Question about clipping signs from the dictionary.

Fri Nov 21 23:18:44 UTC 2008

Hi Charles, 

I think it should work with   “right click, copy, and moving it into the
email or into a word file”  if you push the customize buttom first. Then the
graphic that shows up can be handled just as you discribe ... 

Stefan ;-)

Betreff: Re: [sw-l] Question about clipping signs from the dictionary.

The most likely reason is your computer doesn't like transparency. I have
personally learned to stop doing that because there are some who can't see
my copy and paste anyways. So what I do is I use the save image as and save
it to my desktop, then I place it in my email. It can be a little bit of a
pain, but at least I know that it will work more that copy and paste which
seems to only work when it wants to. Hope this helps.

I used to be able to simply drag and click signs directly into sw board
emails from the signpuddle dictionary by highlighting the graphic, right
click, copy, and moving it into the email or into a word file.  Am I doing
something wrong now?. Others seem to be able to imbed their comments in
graphics, as if they are simply alphabetic characters, but I seem to have
lost that functionality.

Try this one.  Your comments make a lot of sense, it's a matter of
articulation.  All of our tries will get close to the same result.  I like
something that is crisp and clear.

I think you'd need an a close knuckle at the side of that arrow and then an
open one.  This works for me as one is following the tip of the index finger
through three movements.  Neat.

So then perhaps this movement symbol is more correct?

<http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5/symbol.php?sss=02-10-006-01-01-01&col
or=000000> 

It is used in signs with similar movements such as:

<http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5/image.php?build=03-03-001-03-01-01,91
,104,01-01-001-01-01-03,120,142,02-10-006-02-01-01,96,142> 

but with a single movement...
