Gospel John in ASL Chapter 1 in PDF format

[Ingvild Roald]

Great. Big job. I too loved the Page Maker program, now I am using an old version of the InDesign, vesrion Cue CS2. That may be to old for me to use your template ...

> Hello SignWriting List!
> I have been working on the book design and layout, for printing the 21  
> chapters of the Gospel According to John in American Sign Language,  
> translated from the New Living Translation by Nancy Romero, edited by  
> ASL editor Lucinda O'Grady Batch (thank you Nancy & Cindy ;-)
> 
> Since we decided to publish the Gospel of John in SignWriting Level 4,  
> which means four columns per page, in portrait style pages, I decided  
> to use a book-design program called Adobe InDesign for this very large  
> book preparation, since it may involve 500-600 pages when we are done,  
> and our DocumentMaker Pro program, no matter how much I love it, needs  
> to be improved from a software development perspective, and our non- 
> profit organization does not have the funds right now to invest in  
> improving DocumentMaker...someday we will!
> 
> So instead, since I used PageMaker years ago to prepare books, and  
> since PageMaker was purchased by Adobe, they made it possible for  
> PageMaker users to transfer all their old documents into Adobe  
> InDesign. I had hundreds of book-layout files in the old PageMaker so  
> I had a big job transferring all those old files into Adobe InDesign,  
> but over time I learned Adobe InDesign and I enjoy using the program...
> 
> There are two programs used most for large book-layouts...Quark  
> Express and Adobe InDesign...and there are others that are terrific  
> for mathematical textbooks and so forth...so there is a big world out  
> there with so many software choices...I know lots of people use  
> Microsoft Word...I understand how to use Adobe InDesign better, and I  
> love the way it makes PDF files, since Adobe is the developer of the  
> PDF format...they have the creation of PDF files built into the  
> program, which is a great help. It also coordinates well with Adobe  
> Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Acrobat...
> 
> So I have started the SignWriting 4-column layout for the 21 chapters  
> of the Gospel According to John in Adobe Indesign now ...I created a  
> template with a table for the four columns...giving the lines between  
> the columns a light grey color, and I established the exact Column  
> Height, width and so forth in SignPuddle ColumnMaker to match my  
> template in Adobe InDesign.
> 
> So if there are any of you who also use Adobe InDesign, or would like  
> to learn, and you would like to have a copy of the template I have  
> established for SignWriting Level 4 documents (4-column portrait  
> documents), please tell me and I will send you my template, with  
> instructions on how to coordinate with SignPuddle's ColumnMaker  
> features, which are just superb! (thank you, Steve! ;-)

> Here, attached, is a sample of the first chapter of the Gospel  
> According to John. I will add more chapters later....
