Gospel John in ASL Chapter 1 in PDF format

[MARIA AZZOPARDI]

Wow well done to everyone on the Gospel team! That's a lot of hard work.

Valerie, I would love to learn how to use Adobe InDesign and I think it's
a must, since we work on long documents in signwriting.

Many thanks,
Maria

>> 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....
>>
>> Hope you all have enjoyed your July!!
